I haven't seen a good Reggie thread in a while. Since we are done with preseason how would you sum him up? What surprised you most about him? what are your expectations?

Mine-

He is the real deal- electric! He will be a terror out of the backfield as a receiver.

I knew it but was even more impressed with his toughness. The guy doesn't shy away and hits opponents hard. His hands are better than advetised. A first round receiver even if he wasn't a RB. I am incredibly impressed also with his media relations- the charity stuff is great PR. He knows how to communicate without coming across as an arrogant spoiled athlete. He ain't a jive ass that will be busted for weapons, drugs, or abuse like many of the thugs in the NFL.

Rushing yards I dunno. I am anxious to see more of the variations of him and Deuce in the same backfield. He could be so electrifying that he cannot be kept off the field. There is the line how he isn't a load carrier but he is just as big and strong as Emmitt or Sanders. We'll see. My dream would be that Deuce would have a big year too so that his trade value got back up there. Then we could unload him for positions of need or draft picks and not get creamed capwise. Ideally, with Reggie we could use someone a little lower salary-wise than Deuce. A Brandon Jacobs or Duckett type would be ideal to me.

I think he will have 50-70 catches for 700+ yds.
