SMU coach says new receiver is ΓÇÿweirdly similarΓÇÖ to Brandon Aiyuk

By Jacob Richman | [email protected]

SMUΓÇÖs wide receivers coach Rob Likens believes that successful NFL players need to have the mindset that thereΓÇÖs no plan B outside of being an elite football player.

If someone wants to make it at the next level, it requires a drive that Likens says only some players have to be among the best of the best.

HeΓÇÖs seen it in former receivers of his like Brandon Aiyuk, Rashee Rice and Quinton Patton, who have all seen NFL success.

Likens may have found yet another player with that potential in junior college prospect Link Rhodes, who he says is ΓÇ£weirdly similarΓÇ¥ to Aiyuk when he first got his hands on him at Arizona State in 2018.
