He is listed at 6-2 and 215. Does he have the hands to play the slot? His speed seems good and he would make a tough match-up for a linebacker or safety. Adding another skill player to the field would seem to be a good idea. And we have more than enough running backs to afford the move.

I've wondered that before myself. His frame looks more like a WR's then your typical RB.

They've hardly used him in the passing game for us to know if he's capable of making the transition.

Blue is great right where he is! No need to move him

He could do it, D. Henderson made the switch and he is still catching balls in the NFL.

He looks just like Richard Murphy out there, and I sure wish he would have been given a chance in such a role. I doubt Miles does it though.

I am thinking we will see some of JR at the slot back, his speed and quickness would do well at that position... and it would be a way to get him on the field other than at qb....

I think Hilliard is more suited for the slot.

I've said from day 1 that I thought Blue could play WR
