Thanks for the feedback, since most of us don't see what's not on TV, and many that see it in person aren't watching anything but the ball. I can imagine that the faults that you noticed are also evident in practice, and it is why he hasn't started, but he certainly showed a lot of talent today, and I think the problems you noted can be coached away. The hands, size, speed and body control can't be coached, so I was really pleased with what I saw. Now if he can only stay healthy, he should really turn into a special player.

Truly that's all I was saying - he looks good. There's a reason he has been kept around. That doesn't mean that he should be elevated from practice squad to replacing devery and taking meaningful playoff snaps yet. If needed I think he will do alright but he is much more likely to make a game changing mistake then some of our other players, and seems no more likely to make the game saving play. I think he could be a solid reserve/bench player for years to come, filling in for any of our injured receivers comfortably, but I don't think he is ready to steal anyones job yet. Given another offseason he could very well take that last WR spot and be colstons primary backup easily.

Physically and mentally he seems to be almost there - keyword being almost. Add 5-10 lbs, cut out a couple boneheaded reads and he will be a very good possession receiver.
