Its possible that we could have one of the best 1-2 receiver duos in the nfl without Thomas.

I don’t see any reason Shaheed could not be the next antonio brown. He is bigger, faster, also went to a small school, also was projected as a late round pick or undrafted free agent, had far more yards as a rookie, far more yards per catch as a rookie than any season of browns career, did it with an inferior qb, and had a similar very high catch rate as a rookie. Shaheed could be a mirage or could turn into a role player but he might also turn out to be very elite, and the stats so far indicate thats totally possible.

Certainly could happen. They also could hit sophomore slumps and struggle with a new QB. Without Thomas, saying it’s Edwards and a bunch of young guys is still an accurate statement.
