I mean this seriously but it will sound smart-ass: He's not a receiver because he can't catch. It's harder than it looks and many just can't do it. That's why they end up at defensive back. At least there it doesn't matter in the slightest what kind of hands you have.ACL11190 said:i never noticed that arenas caught a td in the arkansas game...if only hed get more chances as a reciever.

Down the road, they might do that, but right now he is more needed from a depth standpoint at defensive back.

You do that.

I read the same article Bo. I'm thinking we might see him down the road in a big game just to catch the D off guard (i.e. LSU or Auburn).
The fact that he never plays receiver but does play d-back. With his speed, if he could catch, he would be playing receiver. He does return, but that's not really anything like playing reciever.Porterhouse said:bamaupsman said:I mean this seriously but it will sound smart-ass: He's not a receiver because he can't catch.

Just curious, but what has given you the impression that he can't catch?
