Ricardo Louis blasts Auburn during Cleveland Browns presser

Something tells us that Auburn coach Gus Malzahn won’t be calling former Auburn WR Ricardo Louis with an invite to come back to Jordan-Hare Stadium anytime soon.

At least not without an apology.

Saturday was supposed to be a celebratory day for the former Tigers receiver, who surprised many NFL Draft experts by being selected as the No. 114 overall player by the Cleveland Browns.



It was the best case scenario for a guy that struggled to consistently differentiate himself from the crop of draftable receivers during his career at Auburn.

But instead of it being all smiles, Louis took his first opportunity to speak with the Cleveland media as a chance to take a jab at his alma mater.

Louis said he was not developed as a receiver at Auburn, and thanked the Browns for seeing past that. He also criticized the simplicity of the Auburn offensive scheme.

Auburn beat writer Brandon Marcello grabbed a screen shot of Louis’ comments from the Browns’ website on Saturday.

“I would say that the Browns saw things from me that other teams didn’t see. They understand that I was in a scheme at Auburn that didn’t require me to run very many routes, very diverse or complex routes and the fact that I was not developed as a receiver at the time,” he said.

“Going into the combine, I wanted to prove to everybody that I was versatile and I was able to run routes and catch balls smooth and well. Doing that, looking ahead, they got to see that they can develop me and mold me into the receiver they want me to be.”

While what he said may be true, it’s still not a good look for a guy trying to make a good impression on a new fan base.

It also probably didn’t earn him any points with Auburn fans.

Some things are just better left unsaid.

  Not really blasting Auburn. Just telling the truth
  
  Many College recievers that play in spread offenses have similar problems

  Well, he’s not wrong. You don’t want a receiver to run complex routes if you don’t have a quarterback to make those throws.

  If he felt that way, he should have said so while he was at Pro Day.. Why wait until after you leave so you don’t have to face the very same people that put you in a position to be in the draft.. Typical coward move.

  Damn dude, maybe if you’d caught at least half of the easy drops you had last year, you wouldn’t be going to the damn Browns where all good careers go to die. At least you made the prayer catch Jerky.

Bit of a bait-y title. He didn't exactly "slam" them but rather pointed out something we kinda already knew about their offense. Still not a good PR look for the Barn though.

 

[JoshB]

I mean what he said is 100% true but what does it say about him that in such a simple offense he managed to drop damn near as many balls as he caught.

That he is a perfect fit for the Browns.

 

[UAgrad93]

He has since backtracked and said that he was to blame for not developing as a WR.

I've said it before, in most of these HS offenses, their passing game struggles because all they work on as WRs is downfield blocking and get limited time running routes and catching passes.

Regardless, he still dropped as many passes as he had catches. PERFECT FIT FOR THE BROWNS.

 

[Tidestalker]

Not like the system changed since he picked them in the recruiting process... Should be more mad at himself for willingly choosing that offense and coaching staff.

I'm sure the money was too good to resist going there.

I thought it was about "being a fambly" down there! :sarcasm:
