Damn. Wish he could have developed under a coaching staff that taught to block downfield.

[borc4cy]

ah hes good enough. He will get picked up somewhere. Best of Luck Todd!

I actually think he still has a shot. I hope Minnesota gives him a look, and think he could be quite useful in the red zone.

Kind of doesn't surprise me. You have to play hard 100% of the time, not just when you are gonna get the ball.

Agreed, you cannot teach 6'5".

So...going back to the redzone post.....I don't see why he would be good in the redzone. Here is what I see in Blythe. He is slow...he would only be effective in the redzone b/c he wouldn't be effective anywhere else b/c it requires speed. Not surprised on this one at all.

No one is going to carry a guy on their roster who might come in and make one or 2 plays a season.

I don't disagree...but I'd still like to see the Bears pick him up. At least he's not 140 years old like Booker, Brandon Lloyd makes Blythe look like a workhorse, Mark Bradley can't stay healthy for two consecutive games and Hester is a work-in-progress, at best, as a WR. Other than that, the Bear WR's are playmakers...

Hope some team lacking receiver depth/good receivers would pick him up and give him a shot. I'm looking at you Oakland, Minnesota, Chicago...

Exactly.

I guess for those that are a bit surprised by this, ya'll haven't exactly been watching a ton of ISU FB the last couple years.

Todd is a good receiver, but not great. I firmly believe he could have been great - but for various reasons, it did not happen.

+1 to ISUFan and others.

For whatever reason, Blythe quit developing after his Sophomore year.
