OVERVIEW

Played one year at Utah after transferring from Mt. San Antonio Junior College where he was named first-team all-conference with 16 touchdowns. Made four, different All-American teams as a return specialist in 2014 with Utah and was named First-team All-Pac 12 as a return specialist. Finished season with a punt return average of 15.0 and three touchdowns while returning one kick for a touchdown and a 24.9 average. Signed with Cal out of Long Beach Poly HS. Redshirted in 2010 and left the program for academic reasons according to then head coach Jeff Tedford. Played running back and receiver his senior season of high school and finished third in the state in the 100M and sixth in the 200M in 2010. Video of Clay releasing a sure touchdown before crossing the end zone against Oregon went viral in 2014. ANALYSIS STRENGTHS Very good straight-line speed. Decorated sprinter in high school. Stepped up and showed improvement in his lone season at Utah after teammate Dres Anderson's season-ending knee injury. Able to make first defender miss in space. When given a shot to play vertically, took advantage by winning over the top twice against Oregon. One of the more dangerous return men in college football as both punt returner and kick returner. Posted three punt return touchdowns and a 100 yard kickoff return this year. Has great feel for keeping kick returns on their designed track and slashing at the right time. Had disastrous "fumble" against Oregon when he released ball before crossing the plain of the goal line, where Oregon picked it up and went other way for a touchdown. Bounced back from that and showed mental toughness. WEAKNESSES Smaller receiver with very limited catch radius. Had four drops this season, including focus drops when trying to make catch near the sideline. Hips don't open much causing short, tight strides and flatness with some of his routes. Lacks sudden feet to gain expected separation on outs. Film filled with hitches, bubble screens and short outs and lacking in more route sophistication. Upright into his breaks and out of them. Started at Cal, but left the program to "improve his academic situation", according to then coach Jeff Tedford. BOTTOM LINE

Slot receiver lacking suddenness to get open against man coverage underneath, but with a second gear to find separation on deep throws. Clay's size and playmaking ability as a receiver aren?t going to do much for most teams, but his return ability gives him a shot at making a team.

slot receiver? say no more

Yes, that's what they are, Bored and purposely making bad decisions.

You figured them out Scottlaw

I think maybe they get paid per post for all the activity on this board. Maybe trying to get that beach house the Mrs wants. Happy wife....

I don't feel better. i feel resigned to watching game for little tidbits and highlights once in awhile.

 

Tough row to hoe indeed

 

 

 

This guy isn't going playing any significant snaps...he's a fringe roster player and provides little to no help at WR.

This guy is our new Kolby Listenbee

Most of the moves aren't even necessary.

It's like he's bored and making stupid moves for the sake of making moves.

 

Both of these sound a out right. Losing confidence in McBeane slowly as we lose the offseason

:lol:

Tallest midget?

I mean what could compare to the utter brain storming that goes on around here?

 

Like everyone always says, if you're looking for intelligence football message boards should be your first stop.

I might be misunderstanding but are you saying Seymour is bad based on that? Cause it means he went more snaps between allowing receptions than any other rookie Edited by NoSaint

No, I was saying everyone saying that he sucked and is the same as the WR we traded for was ridiculous.
