Mingos Route Running

[TarHeel69]

He looks very hesitant in his routes.  Almost lazy on a few.  Might take him a while to get that speed and crispness he needs to get open.  He's a rookie, so you have to give him some time.

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.

This fan base doesn't have patience.

It’s been what 5 years since we have had anything close to what resembles a nfl team and yet we lack patience?  Do I have that correct?

Of course Kelvin Benjamin would be in that 10%

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. 

Boldin's first couple of years were fine, but they weren't OBJ-esque. Let's keep some perspective here.

I hear all the noise, but I just picked up Mingo on the off chance that Brown gets us in gear and rolling these next 11 games.

The scouting report on him coming out of college was that he wasn't great at creating separation, was just really good at catching contested balls and running after the catch.

From NFL.com

Big, strong slot receiver possessing the mental and physical toughness to outperform his speed limitations. The career production is nothing special, but it’s clear he’s put time and effort into his craft. He runs crisp, well-paced routes and ramps up his focus when it’s time to go get the football. A lack of separation burst and long speed could make for more contested catches, but he has the body type and willingness for that work. Mingo can get tough yards after the catch and is an above-average blocker. He has the skill level and demeanor to become a starting slot receiver for teams using 11 personnel (three WRs) as their base offense.

Yeah, he is kind of a guy that would be a classic possession WR in older offenses. That just doesn't fit as much in the current league.

I would say that he probably ends up as a situational player for us eventually. Assuming we install an offense from the last 15 years.
