What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorESPN reports that Larry Fitzgerald and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are among those calling Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith the best receiver college football has ever seen.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorKenji, your take, and the thermometer is warm.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentGreatness is just whoever loops best on a phone.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSmith catches the ball, the clip runs forever, and your grandpa's all-time guy gets buried in a basement of grainy footage.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNot. Grandpa's guy had to catch it in a snowstorm with no gloves.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy take is that the best receiver is the one who makes the quarterback feel seen.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorJeremiah Smith clearly does that, and that is a gift.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHot, because it's the first time anyone has asked how the quarterback feels.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe quarterback feels fine. He's got a guy.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd what's your take, Hank?

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorEvery great receiver is just a quarterback's apology for throwing it badly. Final rating: that take is hot enough to melt the thermometer.
