Metcalf. Iowa State receiver Hakeem Butler has gotten quite the amount of hype, and in his Junior season with he Cyclones he amassed 60 catches for 1,318 yards (22.0 yards per catch, 3rd in all of college football for 2018) and nine touchdowns.In comparing him, to Brown and Metcalf, Butler is closer to Metcalf. He’s 6’6 and 226 lb, but looks smoother as a receiver than Metcalf. A popular NFL comparison is A.J. Green, a top receiver. Butler is actually slightly taller than Green, and from the looks of it, he has similar vertical prowess. In the Titans’ quest for another receiver to match with Corey Davis and Adam Humphries, getting Hakeem Butler would give them another vertical threat that would set Tennessee up for a solid 1-2-3 combo.NCAAFButler’s technical approach as a route runner was terrific in college. While he doesn’t possess the flashiest routes, he can still create separation, which combined with his frame makes him a favorable target on deep shots.Here, the size matchup doesn’t even come close. Butler feels like a wide receiver version of Rob Gronkowski in a way because of how much of a gargantuan he is compared to the corner he’s facing. And despite his size he moves quite well here, using his left foot to push off and get one step on the corner. Butler’s quarterback targets him via a back shoulder toss, and he makes sure to drag his foot in bounds (Remember, it’s one foot in college, two in the NFL), so he has the spatial awareness down.NCAAFAgainst the same corner, Butler makes an impressive contested catch. An issue I have with Metcalf is that he can get trapped easily at times vs. corners in comparison to Butler, who uses a more technical approach here. The corner tries to get his hand onto the receiver, but Butler swipes it down, allowing him to get his arms free and win a slight advantage. That’s more than enough to make this play work.Because of Butler’s hand swat, he has the leverage against the corner, allowing him to make this catch look easy.Perhaps the most impressive part of Butler’s game is how difficult he is to bring down, again drawing comparisons to Rob Gronkowski. Gronk’s ability to separate and break tackles after the catch didn't come exclusively from his frame, but rather how violent he was with his hands and body. The same can be said for Butler.NCAAFNCAAFBoth of these touchdowns occurred in the same game, and as you may have guessed they’re both some of the best touchdowns I’ve seen from a college receiver in 2018. He’s able to slip by the tackle at the catch point in the first play, then stops, spins and pushes the defensive back off him, breaking into the open field. His ball security and frame does the rest for a sensational touchdown after the catch.In the second play DaQuan Jones Jersey , Butler’s tight friction allows him to win on the back shoulder pass, as he uses his aggression at the catch point to win the 50/50 shot. His impressive 4.48 40’ time at the Combine is evident here as well with his breakaway speed.If there’s one area Butler has to improve on, it’s his consistency catching the ball. He's been described as a body catcher, and that’s affected his ability to make a few catches as he’s left several on the field.NCAAFThis is a great throw from quarterback Brock Purdy under pressure. Unfortunately, Butler lets it slip through his hands. Butler’s drop concerns don’t come at an alarming rate, but it’s noticeable enough that it will decide if he can be great rather than just good.Still, all things considered I enjoy Hakeem Butler as a prospect. I think he’s a more fleshed out version of D.K. Metcalf, and though I think Marquise Brown is a superior receiver, Butler is certainly a far healthier option. Butler’s one of many selections at varying positions the Titans can consider at pick #19.Butler isn’t without his faults, but he and Corey Davis would make a great starting receiver duo, and combined with Adam Humphries and a few other role receivers, would give the Titans a boost in receiving depth they didn’t have in 2018. Derrick Henry’s career night leads beatdown of Jaguars."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Tennessee Titans PodcastDerrick Henry’s and Losers from Titans 30, Jaguars 9New,184commentsDerrick Henry’s career night leads beatdown of Jaguars. ByMike B. Herndon@MikeMiraclesDec7, 2018, 12:22am CSTShareTweetShareShareDerrick Henry’s and Losers from Titans 30, Jaguars 9Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY SportsThe Titans extended their winning streak over the Jaguars to four straight on Thursday night in impressive fashion, beating their AFC South rivals 30-9 to advance to 7-6 on the season. Tennessee has now outscored Jacksonville 91-41 over the last two seasons. With that, let’s get to winners and losers.WinnersDerrick HenryHenry was so dominant that this almost needs to be a category to itself. The big back out of Alabama rumbled for 238 yards — a franchise record — on 17 carries and hit the endzone four times in one of the most impressive running back performances you’ll ever see. He also tied the NFL record for longest run at 99 yards on a ridiculous play that saw him swat away at least three Jaguars defenders on the way to the endzone.Henry was in dominant form from the start against his hometown team and there should be no doubt who the RB1 for the Titans is moving forward. The “Henry! Henry! Henry!” chants rang down from the crowd in the second half, stirring the spirit of Eddie George’s dominant days in the Titans backfield. It was a special night for Henry.Quinton SpainI don’t actually know how well Spain played in this one (it’s hard to tell too much watching it live), but he retained his job as starting left guard and managed to help lead the way for 264 yards rushing and just one sack for zero yards lost during the game. That almost makes this a good game for him by default.Jurrell CaseyThe Titans best defender was at it again today, tallying 6 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and 1 tackle for loss during the game. The 1.5 sacks bring him to 7 total on the season which ties for the second highest mark of his career. Casey is just an animal on the inside of that defense.Rashaan EvansEvans is officially only credited with 5 tackles during the game, but he was in on a sack of Kessler at one point and was a key part of the big 4th down stop of Leonard Fournette. Evans continues to be a major problem for opposing offenses.Anthony FirkserI know... I talk about Firkser a lot, but that’s just because he constantly makes plays for the Titans offense. Obviously, thoughts should be with Jonnu Smith who suffered a leg injury during the game and was unable to return. He had been turning a corner and now is a tough time to lose a dynamic offensive playmaker. However, Firkser has been making contributions for several weeks now and could see his role growing moving forward, especially if Smith is out for a while. Firkser is still yet to even have an incomplete pass on a ball thrown his way this season.Titans FansIf last week’s Titans game at Nissan Stadium was a drama, this one was a comedy. Home fans who turned out got to see a franchise record be broken and the team extend its winning streak to four games over the hated Jaguars. The Titans are now 15-3 at home over the past 18 games. They also kept their playoff hopes alive and we can now spend the weekend rooting for the Patriots to beat the Dolphins, the Chiefs to beat the Ravens, and 49ers to beat the Broncos. LosersA.J.
