I remember asking the same exact question about a 6’-4” wide receiver named Dwight Clark back in the early eighties. Everyone remembers Dwight for “The Catch” but I remember him best for running flag routes. He would make that slight cut towards the sidelines and Joe Montana would toss those beautifully placed passes right over the defender’s grubby little paws with just the perfect touch to fall gently into the outstretched hands of our much taller receiver without him even having to alter his stride. How I use to marvel at those passes!
Now we have Jalen Hurd who at 6’-5” is another very tall wide receiver with the athletic ability to possibly be able to duplicate Dwight’s moves and a quarterback named Jimmy Garoppolo that could possibly be accurate enough to place the ball in a manner that might bring back memories of the good ole days of Montana to Clark.
