No one can be ruled out as our #1 WR this year or next.

He is a good prospect, suppose to have great hands. My concern is with all the issues at WR this year, why is he just being asked to play now? Seems that both he and Kawann Baker should have been given some opportunity weeks ago.

I think the issue has been more at QB than at WR. That stretch with Siemian at the helm Jerry Rice would have looked pedestrian. That stretch also produced probably 75% of the WR drops for the entire year. There were zero dropped passes against the Jets. We had the luxury of keeping both Kawaan and Easop on the practice squad until we lost Harris to suspension and needed a kick returner that could be more explosive than Callaway.

It's so cruel that in week 14 we're still hoping for a savior at WR.

An argument could be made the opportunity could have been given months ago. We seem to have a lot a guys who are, not to be mean, second tier. In some cases that's a compliment. We have to address the position - not sure that's even debatable at this point.

It was about the third time this season I said to myself "who is that?" and then had to go look up a player's history. As always, I hope he's successful.

He showed flashes early on... Was really never given a fair chance ... His time to shine is now.
