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

    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
    • poo I doubt any Bucs fan would trade Baker for BY either lol.
