I think he's tit-for-tat with Olave in talent, skill, and value to the team. He's a little stronger and keeps his feet better after difficult catches than Olave, and makes the 1st defender miss more. He was injured the last 1, 2, or more games last year or his stats would have been better. He's a bright kid, and he will be right there with Olave in the No1-2 fight until a big strong No1 emerges.
I was pretty impressed with both their performances last year. Sheed had 46 catches, 719 yds n 5 TDs, n CO had 83 for 1123 n 5TDs. And keep in mind they did it despite poor play calling, n a new QB who played behind an inconsistent/bad O LINE 🫣
So this year, my FIRST questions will surround Coach Ks new system, n how quickly the players on O can grasp n execute it. Obviously, we’ll know much more when the pads come on in TC. But overall seems it’s been so far, so good!
The response from both the players AND the media has been pretty positive. Both say the scheme will be more complex n use lots more motion presnap, BUT the playcalling/terminology will be simpler n easier to understand.
Although both CO n Sheed ARE undersized, they’re also smart n quick. So they’ll be line up in different spots n running em in motion presnap should hopefully give em an advantage vs their defenders.
IF all goes well, IMO both will have a big year this season!
