OJ Howard question for staff and anyone else

What makes OJ a TE and Dorial-Green Beckham a WR? Admittedly, I have not watched film on either player, but have read a lot of reviews. OJ is 6'5 1/2, 221 pounds, and just ran a 4.49 40. DGB was listed at 6'6, 220, and a 4.43. I would love to hear thoughts on why they are different.
Thanks in advance.

I personally think we will be moved to WR by end of the year.

I think a lot of it has to do with potential. OJ has a great frame to add weight to. He could easily play at 250 add a freshman after getting into the program.
I'll cheer for Florida, Auburn, Notre Dame, Russia, and the University of Hell before the words "rocky top" will come of my mouth

With all the Talent we have at WR, I personally think we need someone with his skills at TE. Then imagine the weapons at EVERY position. I don't want to force him into the WR rotation and then just still have blockers at TE. OJ can block with his big frame plus a huge receiving threat. So please stay at TE at Bama

This seems like the answer, but still a great question OP
