Ok.....(rubs temples)....why is Thielen 'plucky'? He's actually very athletic and speedy.
Oh c'mon Sticky, don't you know there's no such thing as athletic or speedy white guys? More so "high motor".
lol, it is racist. Lets start a list of 'white guy' attributes at NFL WRer:
Tenacious
Great route runner
Excellent hands
Crafty
Just 'gets open'
Reliable
I'd say more stereotype than racist, but it works the other way too. Remember Byron Leftwich? So much of the pre-draft conversation around him was that he was mobile and fast. Total stereotype. Probably the slowest human whoever played QB.
I dont recall anybody ever calling Manwich "fast", I remember people saying mobile despite his lack of speed. IIRC he had an O linemans 40 didnt he?
AC, aka Uncle, referred to Leftwich as a phenomenal athlete.
