I really thought this was a nice TC story and nothing more...

But it sounds like Renfrow has a legit chance to not only make the roster but contribute.

Honestly, this is one of the best WR groups we've ever had on paper going into TC.

This group has a diverse skill set, and good mix of established veterans and younger players.

Other than in 2008/2009 when we had Smitty & Moose as our starters (and both were established All Pros at this point), this is as good of a room as i can remember going into a season.

Honestly, if you take Smitty out of the equation, our WR groups overall have been subpar for the most part throughout our history.

I'm not crowning this group before they've proved it on the field, but it's hard to not be excited about this group relative to most years.

I think McMillan, XL, Coker, Theilen, Horn, Renfrow, and JT Sanders is exponentially better than what Bryce had 2 years ago as a rookie (Chark, Mingo, TMJ, Theilen, Hurst).

Im excited to see what Shemar Bartholomew shows in preseason.

He didn't give up a single reception last season in preseason with the Jets.

4 teams put in waiver claims last season- we got him due to sucking and being at the top of the waiver wire, so there were a lot of teams interested.

He played sparingly last season and didn't do anything really of note, but he has a full year now in the Evero system.

Evero as noted is hesitant to play rookies, but now is the time to see what we have.

We desperately need another CB to step up and prove they've earned a depth spot on the roster.

Mike Jackson did very well all things considered, but upgrading CB should still be a priority

Thing with Renfrow is, he didn’t take time off due to a football injury. It’s not like he’s coming back with a bad knee, hip, back or shoulder.

He needs conditioning, but if his UC/Chron’s is well controlled, he should be the same guy from a physical perspective. This bodes well.

Yeah, Smitty/Moose/Proehl is honestly the only legit high level WR corps we've ever fielded. Smitty is by far and away our GOAT WR, Moose is by far and away the #2, DJ Moore is easily the #3 and from there it just falls off a cliff. KB is the only other guy we've ever had who showed promise that he might be a long-term high level starter.

4th best WR all time.....is probably a title held by Ted Ginn Jr.  And tells the story of the Carolina Panthers habitual issue.

Our franchise #6 all-time receiver is a RB who suited up in 58 games over the course of 5 seasons. LOL

There's two TEs and a RB in that top 6.

Nailed it

I looked it up, Mark Carrier seems to be the guy.......I forgot about him..... Then its the one year wonders like rocket and "chosen(lollols)" etc. Lafell and Samuel had decent 4 years. 

I swear you can just have one great year or 4 ok ones and you are in the top 10 all-time list.....

DANg tommy tremble and Ian "my god" Thomas are in the top 20 with WRs and I don't need to bring up the suckage stat level of them. awful.

T-Mac about to take that #2 spot form Moose, would love to see him give Smitty a run for his money too, would mean he turned into a HOFer playing almost all, if not his full, career here.

If Thielen can get 919 yards this year, he'll move into 7th all time for us, which would mean 4th highest WR on the list

Tremble is 39th, and Thomas is 25th, but having played in more games than all but 6 players above him on the list

      Bust alert - Eight NFL players running out of time to prove themselves entering 2026 season

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
