[CBFF] Bears' Mark Bradley ready to be No. 1 receiver --chicagotribune.com - Sent Using Google Toolbar

I think Bradley can be a very solid #2 at least.  He has great size and
speed.  He just needs to get on and stay on the field.  If he does that,
IMO, he has the pure talent to be better than BB.  They have similar speed
but Bradley is bigger.

Bradley's stats coming out

6'1", 201
40:  4.37
Vert: 39.5"
Shuttle: 4.02
Cone:  6.96

Berrian's

That's what frustrates you?

What frustrates me is that he's not good, and he's our #1.
