I would characterize him as poor mans Antwaan Randle El, maybe faster but less skilled overall. Great team guy that lines up wherever they need him. Fast as hell.
Hey, I don't need a poor man's Randle El, I need a poor man's Bethel.
But seriously folks... if we're going to have a guy with great speed, it would be great if he eventually learned to run routes (my main issue with Bethel, although some folks here think he's ready to break out - and I am happy to be proved wrong.)

The Kool-aid thing's been the subject of a few media reports. Here's the story, actually, the two stories and the story about the convergence of the stories.
Story 1, the one he told his mother:
Maroney's family evidently did not allow soda pop in the house at all, but did have kool-aid.
So, when the other kids started calling him Kool-Aid, he explained to his mom, it was because they could always come over to his hour and get some Kool-Aid. Simple, no?
Story 2, the one that somehow got out in the media (and is true):
The above story, regarding the availability of Kool-Aid at Maroney's house, is accurate. However, the other kids called him Kool-Aid because when they were playing with matches and started a fire on the front yard, Maroney ran back inside, grabbed the first liquid he found (a pitcher of Kool-Aid,) and put out the fire.
The story about the convergence of the stories - Maroney actually had to fess up to his mother years later, when Story 2 got into the media. She still believed Story 1 at this point.
And then, of all places, New England - where "drinking the kool-aid" is a byword - picks him. How perfect is that?

Dillon Must Be..........Bruschi Must Be
Wouldn't Dillon be - Power-Aid and Bruschi be - Band-Aid?

From one gopher fan to another.. Cheers! anyway I agree he is fast, but still short for WR and I am uneasy about his hands. Didnt Logan Payne replace him on PR?
