These guys look like legit d1 pass catchers with NFL potential.. Nice to have some good looking receivers out there. When I saw Ian strong I was like oh ok, hes gonna be Megatron, he may not be ready yet though, maybe a defensive player, have to give him a chance but he never has looked comfortable catching the ball. Didn't get the ball to Dremel or black but I'd like to see how that looks as well.. running backs are elite of course. Team has some real weapons this year. But Fletcher and Dymere look excellent, Fletcher should have been playing tight end this whole time lol. That was a pleasant surprise as I don't think Rutgers has ever had a receiving tight end like him during my fandom..
Dymere Miller and Kenny Fletcher...
- Thread starter Jerseylegends
- Start date
Were you around for Clark Harris?
Idk who that even is lol
Can you call yourself Jersey legend and not know who Clark Harris is?
Smh 😞 he's got a couple years on me lol cut me some slack..but yeah I looked a little bit deeper and see that he played TE at Rutgers. While I'm sure he was awesome, I really think Fletcher has a future at the actual tight end position at the next level. Looked so natural catching the ball..
You are so wrong on Ian strong . He’s legit. Moving him to defense is the dumbest thing I heard .
Same play last year vs this year
Millen credited "second effort"

Should be a redzone TD machine. Strong hands, great body control and size. He made some great catches last year.
Certainly looks like it. Chalk it up to a bad game but eventually have to see what Brantley, toure, black etc look like as starters..I'd like to see what brathwaite can do as well since he's said to be the fastest..
The ball placement difference is so critical here.Same play last year vs this year

Same play but not against the same team. OSU has better tacklersSame play last year vs this year

Jersey I agree with you. Harris was a great player for us but physically Fletcher is just different. Sort of jumps off the screen. Very excited about what he can do this year for us.
Clark Harris jumped off the screen too.
But so happy with what I saw at TE yesterday. It can change the entire look of this offense.
This comment made me incredibly sad lol
Sam Johnson was solid at that time. He and Harris might be the best TE duo Rutgers has had. IIRC his career got cut short by concussions.
I know they're now in the wayback machine, but don't forget about LJ Smith and Marco Battaglia!
Yeah, there was a stretch from early 90s to prob 10 years ago RU had top pass catching TEs that most where day 2 draft picks…Battaglia was a beast though didn’t pan out same way (prob because drafted by cheap Bengals who were putrid then). Marco dominated PSU at Giants Stadium in 94…
Kroft was prob last who was good pass catching and could block some…certainly a while ago.

Not really.
As Matt Millen said the TD was a second effort score.
Lots of guys can make that catch but getting into end zone is another story.
Even Mongo was stuffed twice on same goal stand
Aside from Washington, last year's WRs had practically zero ability to make contested catches or fight off defenders
Also, one defense was Ohio State and the other Howard. Not meant to disrespect Howard, but…..
Think Mark Bavaro in college for you young fans who saw his giants highlights.. or maybe Gronk.. just a dominant physical presence.
Clark Harris is the first Rutgers player I recall as a freshman where I looked at his size/play on the field and said he is an NFL player. He was special from the start. And we have had a lot of great players that you knew could get to the NFL but he just had “it”.
If Fletcher can be near the Clark Harris TE production level, we will all be thrilled. I agree he has a lot of potential as a receiving TE.
The GW pass made his momentum stop and have to go upfield. DM was able to catch the ball and keep his momentum going.
let's be fair here... first clip was against OSU. 2nd was against Howard.Same play last year vs this year
Millen credited "second effort"
Does that mean he stays on the field at halftime and joins the band?
And before that their was a guys named LJ Smith and Marco Battaglia
