Manny Navarro's Spring Tour, Part 3 - 05/14/2008 - MiamiHerald.com

Dunn has another receiver at Norland now who is drawing lots of comparisons to Bowe in 2009 recruit Xavier Rhodes.
Last Friday, I made a pit stop at Norland during my spring tour to watch the 6-2, 190-pounder during practice. Although I didn't see an instant comparison to Bowe, I was impressed with how Rhodes does not shy away from contact.
On one play in which he caught a quick outlet pass during 7-on-7 work, Rhodes had an opportunity to use his speed and outrun an opponent down the sideline for a touchdown. Instead, he opted to run up the middle of the field. After breaking an attempted tackle by a linebacker, Rhodes stiff-armed a safety and outran the rest of the secondary for a score.
