Over on cougarboard there has been great debate in comparing Collie and Watkins, but while they were very talented no doubt, getting lost in the shuffle is Reed, who I believe to be equally talented as any WR we have had here at BYU, including Austin Collie. Yes, he may not get the notoriety and hype that Collie gets, but consider this, he is a different type of reciever than Collie:

1. I've never seen a BYU WR block as well as Reed. Any doubters should look up the youtube video of him levelling Steve Tate. While Collie doesn't shy away from contact, Reed is very physical.

2. He runs precise routes and is very assignment sound.

3. He has as good a set of hands as any WR that Ive seen here at BYU (IMO roughly on level with Collie).

4. Reed is not afraid of crossing the middle for the ball. Like Collie, he has balls and shows no fear of what the defense will throw at him.

5. Collie garners more attention because of his style of play and the fact that he gets alot of balls thrown his way.
