the dude who made the pro bowl his rookie year?  while setting the rookie reception record, winning OROY, etc. 

Did they call him a bad or poor man's version of Boldin?  Boldin was a certified monster out the gate.

It's just comparing their style of play.  Big physical WRs that will fight for the catch.  This was pre-draft so yeah they didn't know what situation he would be drafted into.

Looks like they have similar athletic ability as well.

Saw this on Reddit but some dynasty fantasy number crunchers found that if a rookie receiver has 525 yards or more their rookie year it’s around 90% hit rate that the player turns out to be a good to great pro. He’s still on pace to break that around the 575-600 mark. 

Moral of the story is patience.

No wonder David Gettis's career never blossomed 😢 He just barely missed the cut.

I remember all of the Dj Moore can't run routes threads back when he was a rookie...

Some of y'all gotta chill, he's a 2nd round WR, this not a Jefferson or Chase selection. 

And if you wanna compare him to his physical comp in Aj Brown...it still takes time, Aj was traded right before his 4th year if memory serves, and most couldn't name him prior to hhis time in Philly.

Is that old saying really true anymore?  at least in terms of the really good ones. 

sure feels like most WRs that turn out to be good in recent history....show it pretty early.  Sure feels like it is skewing more 1-2 seasons now. 

On the whole it is... you'll have some exceptions.  Most of them come in so under developed at route running it takes them a little while to hone their craft, especially guys drafted outside the 1st round.

Numerous people have questioned whether they even teach good route running at the college level anymore.

A lot of offenses of simplified down to the point where the receivers only need to know a few basic routes. It's made the transition from college to pro more difficult than it used to be at that spot.

That was a big knock on him, he came from a Lane Kiffin backyard football team. It’s going to take him a year easily to adjust but he has size and speed. I think Brown gets more creative with him and it helps a lot

Puka must be on pace to break Jerry Rice, he's nearing 1000 already

I remain baffled on why we drafted a receiver with route running as a weakness when - based on the staff compensation and the QB we drafted - route running would the most valued trait in whomever we brought in. Not to say Mingo can't work. Just that he's not the best solution right now given the circumstances.

Side note: the same guy also critized Justin Herbert as a one-read guy.

Mingo didn’t even have big college production in Kiffins fast paced offense. That was my biggest concern around him. I think they had 1k yard receivers every year up until he was the top WR on the roster and he couldn’t get close to it. 861 in year 4. Never a big touchdown guy either. He just… never really produced like a top round pick kind of player.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      This is a toughie because I wonder what a guy like Canales thinks about redemption stories for addiction issues. Also, I think this is a case of 1 player getting caught, and not being naive enough to think this isn't more common in college than we think. I'd toss a 3rd rounder out there. 2026 is essentially a redshirt season regardless, so he's not taking over for any NFL QB next year. Best case, he's ready to go in 2027 if we pass on Bryce's extension. Worst case, he's our future backup QB2. Kid has the tools to be an NFL QB. I do think we could somehow land a '26 3rd round pick back in a trade. Our past years' third rounders are: Brazzell Princely Wallace DJ Johnson Matt Corral All this to say, I could see a team like the Jets going w/ a 2nd. They have three FRPs next year.

      I think we've seen improvement in Bryce's performance. It still isn't up to world beater status, but in Canales defense, he can say that the limitations of the player were hit. I think he survives that even if Bryce doesn't. Still, I think it's a 50/50 shot for Bryce to make it. QB is one of the toughest jobs to do in the sports world, if not the most, so the failure rate is really high, no matter the pedigree. Heck, Archie Manning gets a lot of credit as a great QB but anyone who saw his career in motion knows he wasn't really that good and he was surrounded by bottom of the bowl players. He did get it figured out with his sons, though. That grandson... maybe.
