@-X- I am not the only one that saw a similarity

The Los Angeles Rams are very, very unlikely to be the team to draft wide receiver Laquon Treadwell (there’s literally almost no chance). With that said, one NFL team will be landing Treadwell in the first round more than likely, and he’s apparently a player who resembles one current Rams wide receiver.
In a recent breakdown of why Treadwell is not a top prospect in the 2016 NFL draft, Sam Monson of Pro Football Focus gave a comparison directly to Kenny Britt. There’s a lot of great info in the story, but here’s the part about comparing Treadwell to Britt:
His issue though is that he won’t separate regularly, and doesn’t actually take advantage of his ability to win contested catches as much as he should do. Treadwell reminds some of Dez Bryant or Michael Irvin, but to me he looks far more like Kenny Britt. Britt has had success at times in the NFL and was a first-round pick himself, so that’s not necessarily a disaster. He was taken with the 30th selection of the draft, in part because of exactly the same concerns over being able to separate. In my opinion, Treadwell is far closer to that area of the draft than a top-five pick.
It’s an interesting breakdown, and over his first two seasons with the Rams, Britt hasn’t been bad. He’s played in 16 games during both seasons, totaling 84 catches for 1,429 yards and six touchdowns. He’s also seen at least 72 targets in each of the past two seasons, and actually led the team in yards both years as well.
Even with all that said, his numbers aren’t what you’d expect from a player who was once a first-round pick. This obviously is why Monson explains that he doesn’t believe Treadwell should land in the top portion of the draft.
