I rate him one of the best I've seen at A&T

Terry B. played DB at A&T. As for D. Cherry, I thought he was a RB. I know he was a RB in high school. I played against D. Cherry in the 1965 Shrine (black) Bowl. He was one of the best athletes I have ever seen in my life time. If he played WR at A&T he was probably a really good one.

I've seen some good individual performances over the years, but I haven't seen anybody as consistent as Miles has been over his career, except maybe Brandon Trusty. Even Jamal Jones, who made it to the league, was good for a drop or three a game.
Miles also stays out of trouble, has great academics (ain't he on an academic scholarship?), and even kicked for us when we didn't have a kicker. He might be one of the best players all-time at A&T given all that.
As far as wideouts go, he's been consistent despite dealing with how many qbs? Five? Given the dearth of good wideouts we've produced I'd have to rank him relatively high.
Shipp was a good one too, we just didn't get him the ball nearly enough. And Marcus Bryson at tight end was up there with Craig Thompson in my book. He just did it all extremely well.

Man, I forgot all about Marcus Bryson. He played the TE position like a WR. He was really good. Remember that on-side kick he returned for a TD. As for Miles, you are right Dooms, he did everything that was ask of him and he was a walk-on. And he did it with QB's and coaches that we can rate as F+'s. Oh, and I forgot about Lonnie Harris, God rest his soul.

Well most of you will not remember this player but he was one the best "sure-handed" receivers at A&T- James Bowden. He wasn't the fastest but he was fearless. Some of his catches over the center were awesome.

Lonnie Harris, I forgot he was a monster!!!! Bryson was definitely on point at TE also. Miles is not the fastest WR we have had but you feel like if he can get his hands on it he will make the catch. You can tell he has a good work ethic.
Darryl Cherry actually played RB and WR early on but he primarily was a WR in the end. The cat was so good he would be f**ked up on the field and he would still get it done!!! Too bad he did not go further and may he rest in peace.
