AJ Green Compared to Randy Moss?

Randy Moss ran a 4.25 at FSU and Deion Sanders ran a 4.23.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Moss:
While at Florida State, Moss ran a 4.25 40-yard dash,[10] with only Deion Sanders being faster (4.23).

I know CMR made a comparison of AJ Green to Randy Moss. I don’t agree with Coach Richt’s comparison because Randy Moss is n for his speed, as is evidenced by the fact that he is one of the fastest football players of all time. In my opinion, I think Richt used the name Randy Moss as a substitute for Calvin Johnson. As you can see from the attachment Calvin Johnson was voted the best WR in the history of college football and Randy Moss was voted #2.

After this year will AJ Green catapult himself up to be mentioned with guys like Calvin Johnson, Randy Moss, Tim Brown, Larry Fitzgerald, Fred Biletnikoff, Peter Warrick, etc.? I don’t think so, but my opinion doesn’t matter. In NCAA football, when comparing players and teams on how good they are, the truth is established by the opinion of the majority and the experts. It’s very interesting that way.

UGA has a legitimate claim to the best RB (#34) and the best DB (Champ Bailey) ever to play college football. When I say claim, I mean to communicate that UGA fans can logically argue that Herschel Walker and Champ Bailey are one of the best all time to play their positions. Why? Because the experts and fans, that aren’t UGA fans, say the same thing. GT fans can logically claim that Calvin Johnson was one of the greatest WRs in the history of college football for the same reason. Is AJ Green going to give UGA fans a logical claim to one of the best WRs in the history of college football? Time will tell.

I want to help UGA fans find a WR that they can legitimately compare AJ Green to, but I don’t think Randy Moss is the that guy. I will keep thinking and try to get you back my sincere opinions. One thing I do think about AJ Green is that he is a great WR. I think Calvin Johnson had the ability to go up in the air and get the ball better than any WR to date and also Calvin had unbelievable body control. Best ever, in my opinion. More so than any WR to play college football, Calvin Johnson was known for his acrobatic catches, raw talent (leaping, speed), good character, and work ethic.

Throughout this process my goal is to find the truth about AJ Green. I can tell UGA fans want to talk about AJ, so let’s do it in an respectful, truthful, and logical fashion. I also hope to share some facts about Calvin Johnson. Comparing AJ Green to Randy Moss and Calvin Johnson may be seen as disrespectful to the work these 2 men have put in. Kind of like comparing Dwyer to Herschel Walker. Additionally, it is a lie, because again the majority opinion establishes the truth.
