More Keshawn Martin love out of Houston

    Schaub: “He’s extremely quiet; he reminds me of Andre when I first got here. You couldn’t beat two words out of him. Same thing with Keshawn, but I like that about him. He’s just a worker. From the time he came in here, he doesn’t say anything -- a couple things here and there maybe -- but he does the right things, he’s in the right spots. It’s almost like he’s a third- or fourth-year veteran. He understands what we are doing. He gets lined up, he knows his routes, he knows his adjustments. He doesn’t have hardly any MAs [missed assignments], which is odd for a young receiver. You don’t see that because we ask our receivers to do some much in the pass and run game. We’re excited about what he brings after the catch. He’s got catch-and-run ability and an ability to separate from DBs. He’s got confidence with his hands, he attacks the ball with his hands; he’s not a body catcher.

    Joseph: “From Day 1, he showed up to me. He’s got great feet, great quickness, great burst. It’s not too big for him, he’s a great worker. He can catch the ball in traffic. Keshawn Martin is an NFL receiver.”

    I LOVE that last line. Great guy, glad to see it looks like he's not only gonna hang on, he's doing all the things he needs to have success.

    ... all that and great training. Tribute to the kid, and a tribute to the program.

    I said in April there was NO ONE in the draft as ready as he was to play in the slot....but the NFL loves it''s 'measurables'......how the eff can they watch his tape and not deem him worthy of a low 2nd or high 3rd? Meh, same league that drafted Brady in the 6th.....Schaub loves Key already...if Johnson can stay healthy: look out.

    I wish I could go find some of the comments around the time of the draft where scouts were saying that they know that what they are getting from from the MSU program. Solid kids, solid ethics and solid talent to paraphrase what I remember.

  • Going to be great having him representing the Green and White well in Houston for some of the Texas kids.

  • I just wish people in Miami were saying the same things about B.J. no

  • This has to be fabricated, he was a zero star when he signed, and only a 3 star after.

    I haven't been paying attention, what have they been saying about BJ? From you're tone it sounds negative.

    Might be a practice squad candidate. Too many drops, hasn't impressed much.

    That will only get better with time, and years with MD at the helm. (so pleased!)

  • I worry about K-Mart in the NFL. He has the skills. I doubt he has the durability needed to have a 5-year career. I just hope he gets a contract, gets a signing bonus, cashes checks for a year or two (at least) and comes home to use his MSU degree. If he does BETTER than that, what a wonderful poster-boy for Detroit kids looking at coming to MSU. He was lightly touted out of a family that couldn't afford the camp circuit. How many other talented kids are there in that situation that simply never come to light?

  • Agree - his ONLY issue has always been durability. Other than that he was/is a star.

    He had some fumble and route running issues. Remember last year he was struggling a bit until the scUM game. Then he started dominating without looking back. I think he wuill have a good strong career. Breston has similar concerns coming into the league and he has done pretty well for himself.

  • So good to hear these updates. Not only does it say a lot about the coaching the receivers are getting (which will only help recruiting), but it's great to hear he's got a chance to change things for his family. He couldn't even afford to go to camps to get noticed when he was in high school, and now he's doing well enough that he could end up with a solid career in the NFL and have enough to take care of his parents.

  • Love it. Now we need BJ to seize his opportunity.

    1 look, 1 catch, 22 yards against the 49er D -- and that's with Andre Johnson starting.

  • Keshawn has 3 catches for 36 yards, no TD's, no special teams action. (Looks like Trinidon Holliday has got the punt/kick return job locked up, IMHO.) Doubt Keshawn comes back out, although he might, given that he's a rookie.

  • "Keshawn Martin is an NFL receiver."

    BAM. Congrats to him.
