anyone think he could be our next steve smith? he is not as fast, but makes alot of defenders miss and has run after the catch skills. with dwill and jstew in front of him it will be hard for him to break the line up at rb, but at wr he could definitely move up.

I think that the coaching staff is going this direction but at this point I have to say I certainly don't hope to replace Smitty with this guy.

I certainly don't think the OP meant that we have him replace Steve Smith, but that he could be the next receiver phenom in the same system as Smith...

In the time it takes for a RB to learn to be a WR, Smith will be on the decline/retired

Valid point, but maybe not. A running back turned WR may make that conversion quicker than we believe. I would hope so being a fan...

i think he just has the over all skill set to be like steve smith. he is lean for a rb, that is why i was leaning towards a wr. steve smith uses his incredible athleticism and speed and will to make the plays that he does. he is not the best route runner but can get seperation, i dont think it is that big of a leap to think he could play wr.

The RB to WR learning curve is not a steep one. Reggie Bush caught over 100 balls his rookie season, mainly playing slot WR.. not saying that he could even come close to that, but it isn't a steep learning curve.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
