• Last year, he had 63 catches for 836 yards and 5 TDs, in 12 games. Over a 16 game season, that extrapolates to 84 catches, 1136 yards, and 7 TDs.

• In 2006, he played a full season, and posted 82 catches, 1310 yards, and 7 TDs.

• In his first two years in the league (2004 and 2005), he had 8 TDs in each season, despite missing seven games over the course of those two years.

• Last year, Roy averaged 4.6 YAC compared to Santana Moss' 3.1 and Randle-El's 3.6.

• He was a Pro Bowler after his stellar 2006 season. If he didn't get hurt and miss the last 4 games of this past season, he probably would have been a Pro Bowler then too.

• He'll be 27 when the 2008 season starts.

He's one of the best young WRs in football. Which NFL are you watching?

nice analysis. no need to be an ass, though. i just think there is more to the story, as far as Detroit wanting to unload him
