and the Miami Dolphins may just be in love...
MOBILE, ALA. — If the Dolphins decide to get bigger at wide receiver during the NFL draft in April, they might begin by thinking small.
Division I-AA record-setter Ramses Barden arrived at Senior Bowl via Cal Poly without a big-school resume or name recognition.
But the 6-foot-6, 227-pound Barden quickly has made an impression on his coaches, teammates and those watching from the sideline and stands.
"He's not wide-eyed here - he belongs," said Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers coach Mike Sheppard, a member of the staff coaching the North squad. "The overused word on him between now and the draft will be 'raw' because people will say small school and this, that and whatever.
"He's better than raw."
With the way my man crush DRC has played this year I think the small stigma is quickly going away. This guy is going to be the real deal in the NFL. You thought Marques Colston was something, watch this kid play on Saturday.
