Really like him. He will be great for Bryce. I hope he doesn't get a lot of push off calls as he did that on some of those catches. 

People are going to grab him and push him and make it look like he did something. But if they don’t do it right and he gets it in space it’ll be fun to watch.

No one is mentioning the Horn connection and how that battle in summer camp should really help Legettes development. Horn will be able to call out any opportunities fairly quick. Iron sharpens iron 

Same as when Jordan Gross said that having to block Julius Peppers made him a better player. But I mean no sh*t, having to block one of the best DE’s of all time will up your game. I bet Gross went up against other DE’s in games and was like, this is nothing.

Horn isn’t that level of player obviously, but Legette has his work cut out for him going against Horn in practice. The coaches should be able to tell pretty quick what they have in Legette.

How the hell did Rattler get drafted? Legette could have had 200-300 more yards with a good QB. Rattler has no anticipation on his throws plus terrible placement the ball ahead of the receiver. Legette has to wait on so many throws.

Rattler definitely had boneheaded decisions, but he also had some unbelievable throws off his back foot (a lot of them deep) with pressure right on him. When he had time and stayed in rhythm he was great. Honestly think he will surprise people in the NFL. Sucks he went to the Saints though.

I'm sorry, what?  Much smaller?  At draft, DK Metcalf was 6' 3", 228.  XL is 6' 1", 221.  The both ran 4.3 40's.  Both had a 40" vertical jump.  Both had a combined next gen score of 79.  If you read their draft profiles, they have a lot of the same strengths and weaknesses.  How much closer could they be and not be the exact same player?

Of course I'm not saying that XL is the next DK Metcalf.  Only production and performance can determine that.  But as prospects, they are incredibly similar.

You can find a lot more bad comparisons with thise numbers than good ones which is basically DK.

DK's got over 2" height on X and has 5" more in wingspan while being heavier. DK ran a 4.33 & X ran a 4.39 40, I'm just saying those are different dudes! Pumped for X though can't wait to watch him.

Looks like a raw college WR to me, some plays looks like hes got issues just running.

Hope fans give him time, like they never do. 

I think JC horn will get him ready for NFL CBs

He played 5 years in college and is older than Mingo.

Oh yea, I had forgotten about his shortish arms and smallish hands.

Didn’t have time to watch all of it but seemed to do well on contested catches and pushing off,  we’ll see how well that translates. 
Has some physicality to his game, might be a good run blocker, some decent RAC, but not in the league of DJ,  I didn’t see elite route running.  
He might struggle with press at the next level, but he has some physical tools and he might still decelop. 
I expect him to get some stats, the team can play to his strengths,  wether or not he turns into a true #1 only time will tell.

Couple of things after watching:

1. Seems like he doesn't have a great initial burst. This really stuck out on all those plays behind the LOS and screens. Concerned he's going to have the same fundamental issue our receiver corps have had recently; lack of separation.

2. Does have the top end once he gets going. Could be useful for slants and intermediate digs.

3. Do like how he puts himself in position against corners. On one vs one situations, he may be worth throwing to and letting him win those matchups.

4. Rattler was drafted why? For all the grief BY has gotten, I'd say Legette is getting an upgrade in terms of having someone that can throw with some degree of anticipation.

See, I think Leggette is better suited to play w/ a Rattler.  Rattler gambles, has an arm and plays aggressive. 

Bryce wants players to be Bama college open or he is going safe more often than not.  Leggette is a let me try to make a play WR.

If the goal was to roll with young and give him exactly what he needs then Ladd would be the pick, if the goal was to build the best roster then XL or coleman would be the better selection

I have said the same thing.  Agree.

      TMac to finish up Feels good after pads came on. Physicality is a little different, playstyle is a little different. Refs let the players play, so he has to earn his stripes to get calls and just has to be better playing through contact. Focusing on staying confident and listening to coaches. Not much has changed for him, still trying to be his authentic self. Was asked about boxing practice he was seen doing. He's done that since he was a kid because his dad was a boxer and taught his siblings. Was the youngest and got beat up the most, but now he's the fourth of sixth children. Boxing helps with his cardio and being reactive with his hands to the ball + DB. Admits to struggling the first couple of days, hats off to the DB corps for making him better every single day but had his best day on Wednesday. Even the best get got. Just have to remain confident in preparation and abilities. Confidence will take you only so far, and that's where his resilience plays a factor. XL is authentic and great to have in the room. Can rely on him to be the same guy every day. They make each other better. Everybody feeds off of each other and when one person wins they all win. Happy to be a part of the receiver room. Was asked about how he was laughing harder than everybody else at XL getting his feet in the water off the back of the boat: "Man he needs to be stopped bro... He can't be serious but he was serious. It's all good." Playing against the increased amount of press he's facing in practice is helping him get more physical. His job is to catch the ball, so if it touches his hand he has to come down with it. Only catches with one hand if he needs to, but that gives the QB a bigger catch radius. Had a pregame routine where he did a 360 one-handed catch, but doesn't do it anymore. Working on being a pro: Getting into the facility early and getting treatment, eating better, etc. Just wants to win re: rookie goals. Anything he can do to help the team win. "I'm looking for to the season man and keep pounding."

      DJ Wonnum up next Felt the defense came out ready to work at all levels and took over practice. New standard around here. Young guys have to know they're coming in to work. Last year was not the standard. Nic and Princely are fun. Different personalities but loves what they bring to the room. Sky is the limit for them. Nic sits next to Wonnum, Princeley sits next to Jones II. Allows them to be better mentors. Feels great and ready to go Incoom's athleticism allows him to bend and get low even to compensate for not being the biggest guy. Can set the edge. EDGE guys are helped when the ILBs can get home because it allows them to be a little more free while still in scheme. DB being back means his dominance is back. Can set the edge from the 3 or wherever he's at to make the runs bounce to the EDGE guys. Winning mentality and standard this year. Championship level from practice to how you live off of the field. Accept greatness and excellence with guys wanting to come to work every day. Not settling for anything less. Been in guys' shoes that are fighting for roster spots so he knows how to address them. Remembers not knowing what's next, especially as a rookie. Have a clear mind and ask the older guys a lot of questions. Has a good relationship already with Pat Jones II due to knowing each other and talking football all of the time. Can make hand gestures and know immediately what to adjust. Taking care of his body and excited to start the season. Getting it acclimated to football again by being able to tackle and bring players to the ground. Didn't know they were playing live tomorrow. Don't tell me it'll be "thud." Browns next week will allow them to hit somebody else and get a feel of what a different team is doing. Also allows the team to see where they're at on offense and defense. Ready to play football. Not worried about the QB matchup for Cleveland, going to play hard regardless of who is back there.
