On his return I was very happy he chose the Lions.
Somewhat quiet it seems to me since that time.
Until ... Last game. Huge breakout.
Fast. Mobile. Reacts to the ball. Rangy. Big. Timing of his leaps. Run after catch. Joyful in his play. The DBs looked like little high school kids asked to cover Mervyn Fernandez. LOL
Yes. To me he looked a lot like Mervyn Fernandez.
I do not recall a guy going up for the ball so well, so easily, so dominant over the D, since, well, since Fernandez. The D is struggling to find the ball, to orient themselves, and there is Manny, up in the air, playing catch with the QB, who seemingly just has to chuck it up for Manny to go get. LOL
And no need for comparisons to a Lions icon. Manny is in his own orbit. Way up there.
He made it look easy.Receiving Rec YDS TD LG
