I'll preface by saying this kid never once was on my radar as a possible playmaker until late this past season. I heard from a few people in the know that he is an absolute practice monster and began starting to turn some heads, thus leading to his playing time in 2016.

What do you guys expect from him? He seems to be a quick wideout with pretty good hands, but his stats are limited so who knows his true potential. Either way glad he's a tiger!

It depends. If he changes his number to something less awful then we're talking about a minimum of 120 receptions, 1,500 yards, and 15 TDs. If he sticks with 39 then he might not make the roster.

He played because he does the things no one notices. Kid blocks his arse off every play. He also got into a groove catching the ball. Very happy for this Kid.

To answer you question.
I bet he goes for 700-850 yards and 8-10 td's.

I like 39. Its original.

To continue to work his arse off, when his number is called ball out

His blocking downfield, practice habits, and toughness will have Joseph and Canada!'s attention. I think he has 20+ receptions.

dude needs to switch his number to 12 for obvious reasons. on a more serious note, I expect he'll continue to be a good blocker and Canada will get him on the field on more passing downs to break tendencies

I just hope they stop wasting plays by sending him on go routes. I figured that's all he could do for a while, but it turns out he's actually a pretty polished receiver from the last couple of games.
