Great to read that Damiere Byrd continues to be performing so well this year in OTAs & minicamp.  In his post-practice comments, Ron made it sound as if he thinks Byrd could possibly be a real contributor this season.

Towards the end of his presser, Ron got talking about how pleased he is with the diversity of skills & talents among the WR and how tough the competition will be.  In addition to KB & Funch, Ron talked of Ginn, Philly & Byrd for their speed and Bersin & Norwood as versatile possession receivers.

Sounds for now as if those are his top 7 at the moment.  He didn't mention Hill or Garrett, for what it's worth.

Nice. Do you think Byrd could challenge Philly Brown's spot? 

In his comments, Ron mentioned Philly ahead of Byrd for what it's worth.  But of course he was not giving his ranking of the players.  I'm just noting who he seemed most excited about.  He was specifically asked about Funch & KB but then quickly went on to talk of his excitement about the other guys beyond KB & Funch.  He mentioned Ginn, Brown, Byrd grouped together, and then added in Bersin & Norwood in terms of possession receivers.

Specifically Ron mentioned vertical threats; guys who can go up and catch the ball; guys who can get underneath; possession receivers... he really sounds pleased about the mix of guys they've got to work with and what that can bring to the offense.

You can listen here, starting about 09:54 or so.... he first starts talking about Byrd's improvement, then moves on to talk about the other WRs

      this is true.  But NFL Ss and defenses are actively taking that away and playing to take them away vs most teams.  The problem thus far in BY's career......is they are cheating and not respecting the deep game which makes the smaller/mid range game harder to pull off.  and Dallas is an anomaly game.  using those random games as well, look at this......doesn't really change the discussion/issues in Carolina.  Bryce Young took the shots this week because they were not just NFL open but college open.    Wide open dudes downfield that really were coverage busts/issues.

      I will simply counter all that with: you should always strive, at every turn, to avoid indoctrinating young players into a culture of not playing to win the game.  Come man, that is an egghead academic approach that ignores the human element. it looks good on paper. Maybe.  In the voice of the great  Herm Edwards: Hello! You play to win the game.  I completely understand the need but that is not the way….
