I know it's early, but was wondering if anyone has seen him in action during these workouts?? I have seen some of the practice film that scout is showing, but didn't notice him....

has the speed, makes good cuts but his head is swimming in the offense. every play dictates options in terms of receiver routes. It normally takes 6 games for recievers to be in sync within the RnS following installation in the spring. He will come along.

That's kind of what I've thought. Everyone who has seen his HS games or highlight videos knows he's a terrific athlete, but he has some learning to do. He might play or even start this year, but I have to assume he'll be eased into the rotation. I would expect his initial contribution comes on special teams.

I think you all have made a good assessment. Like you, I am a big fan! I would only add that he is not the only new receiver and one or more may surprise--which is good news.
