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

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.

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.

huh?

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

      Mini camp Day Two

      By t96 · Posted

      Posted before in this thread, he broke his leg late in 2015 after being dominant in the slot that year too, pretty sure that injury prompted us to sign Finnegan out of retirement (who to his credit was great as a late season injury replacement off the street). Not that it would've made much of a difference in the SB anyways with our OL getting killed, but we got absolutely decimated by injury at CB late that year with Bene breaking his leg and I think Peanut Tillman tore his achilles or something in like week 16. That was rough.  But yeah Bene was truly a great slot corner, one of the best in the league, before that injury. Then in 2016 he came back out of shape and without the agility he had before and was just not good. Rivera inexplicably matched him against Julio without any adjustments that game and then we cut him. He had declined enough anyways but I hardly blame him for the Julio game. Dude was a slot corner who was already struggling that year, not someone you matchup against a guy who at the time was easily a top 3-5 WR in the league, if not the best...

      Bene got scapegoated for that game. Literally. I think we cut him like a day or two after that game. He looked really good as a rookie but then had an injury that I can't recall exactly what it was and was just never the same after that.
