Interesting that Long would say that. It could have very well been that Wooten played with better lineman than Lowery, but I don't ever remember another end that caused as much havoc as Wooten when healthy.
Coach Long basically said he is better than Cory. That's big!
Totally agree and now that he is more recovered he remains in the NFL.Me either. Before the ACL he was as good as anyone I saw in Purple.
He said he would compare him to Corey, not that he's better.
Either way, I continue to believe Lowry is massively underrated/undervalued by those on these boards.
I took this quote to say better skill set, bigger and can still run as equalling better.
“I’ve been coaching for 29 years and I’ve yet to coach a young man with his skill set. Now, he has to go out and play when he’s put in all those situations. But Corey Wootton was 6-6, 270; Dean is actually 16 pounds heavier than he was, and can still run.”
Wow! Welcome to America, where the press isn't edited to shape the truth. Putin would be proud. If we can't know that opinion what else are they keeping from us.The article that's posted now no longer has that quote. It's been updated to remove the comparison detail.
