WR: Kevin Kasper, Denver Broncos
I'm always on the lookout for physical specimens. Guys with freakish size/speed ratios or other unusual physical
abilities and attributes. And Kasper fits the bill -- and then some.
Denver Post staffer Patrick Saunders wrote earlier this year, "Take away the bleached-blond hair, earrings and perpetual
tan, then add 4 inches, 20 pounds and 10 years of NFL experience, and Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Kevin Kasper would
be Ed McCaffrey."
In addition to the fact he was drafted by Denver head coach Mike Shanahan, a guy with a pretty solid track record when
it comes to divining talented young receivers, it's hard to ignore remarkable physical attributes the 6-0, 195-pound Kasper
brings to the table.
During Kasper's pre-draft workout, he demonstrated remarkable speed and agility by posting 431/2-inch vertical leap, a
10-foot, 6-inch standing long jump and a 4.43-second time in the 40-yard dash.
Combine those numbers with Kasper's reputation for above-average self-discipline and you have a player worth acquiring
if for no other reason than to watch him slowly emerge as a top-notch NFL receiver a la teammates McCaffrey and Rod Smith as well as former Shanahan draftee Patrick Jeffers.
