My concern is that he catches most passes with his body. Maybe another good year of coaching will fix that.

If it is not broken, do not fix it. So you seriously would rather his drop rate go up so he can catch passes with his hands away from his body and allow the ball to get stripped or just knocked out (see Seattle games).

No thanks.

Ever thought that just maybe he is fast enough to get his whole body there?

You are not alone. I do not like what I've seen from Kenny so far. He can run and we desperately need speed at WR. Colston and Moore are surely two of the slowest WR in the NFL. Stills looks scared to me. I recently posted similar comments on a thread about Joe Morgan who looks to play with reckless abandon to me and I was trashed by the forum and someone posted his 2013 highlights which included mostly him catching the ball wide open on fade routes and exactly zero catches across the middle. I'm sure he'll improve but can you learn to be brave? I don't remember that ever happening. I think that's who he is.

John Jenkins is the forgotten man. I guess that's what happens when you play NT. Kinda sucks because I think a standout NT is one of the hardest positions to fill. WRs are a dime a dozen. That isn't meant to diminish Stills in any way.

They certainly don't get all the love they deserve from us fans, but I'd imagine they get quite a bit from the coaches and players during film review.

Over the course of the 2013 season, Stills had 32 receptions for 641 yards, with four of them surpassing 50 yards each.

That is some fine stats for a rookie WR.

John Jenkins shined bright when Bunkley got hurt. Then he kinda drifted away when he came back.

I think we found another gem there. Loved his play coming off out his rookie season. I did not see that coming. I think he will be another Colton type find.

It will be an interesting camp battle. Stills filled Joseph Morgan's spot after Morgan was lost for the season.
I doubt Meachem will be back and I don't know what's going on with Moore and Toon.

I feel that Stills had an exceptional year for a 5th round rookie.

i do not see much of a battle. kenny is not a mad streaker running down the field like morgan. morgan does not run the middle of the field like kenny.

both on the field at the same time is a very nice complement.

Colston was a 7th round pick. Stills- 2nd round. And they are nothing alike? So I guess you're saying he'll be good because that would be the only way they're alike. And I am pessimistic about his chances of holding a candle to Colston who will soon hold nearly all of the Saints receiving records as well as being the Saints all time TD leader.
