Georgia WR Ladd McConkey carries plenty of stereotypes with him from the outside looking in.
Too short, too slight, probably too slow, all come to mind.
But it only takes a few reels of game tape to see he's far beyond those parameters, something he has in common with plenty of Georgia Bulldogs over the past few seasons.
Turns out Ladd would love to join them, particularly in Pittsburgh:
The Next Georgia Bulldog in Pittsburgh?
"Yeah I mean any team that gives me a shot, I know I'm going to make the most of it, but I got some Bulldogs over there with George [Pickens], Darnell [Washington] and Brod [Broderick Jones] so yea that would be pretty sweet," McConkey told me when asked about his thoughts on joining the Steelers.
As you can see, McConkey's eyes lit up when I said that the paring of his dynamic traits and the Bulldog alums would suit him well in Pittsburgh.
But that's not just some conversation starter, that's the truth.
With WR Allen Robinson likely to be released, and questions about how dynamic Calvin Austin III is, the question is not if the Steelers take a WR in the draft, it's when.
So a slot WR with positional flex and some of the best routes in the class fits the bill in Pittsburgh.
The only question is, how far are they willing to go to get him?

See why the next week is huge for the former Bulldog.
