Athleticism and size, he's off the charts. But that doesn't mean he's a stud.

Is not quick off the line, catches with his body more than hands, struggles to get in and out of his breaks, is stiff, and should have dominated in college based off his size, athleticism and competition, but never did. Nor was he that productive in college. 94 catches for 1800 yards over 3 seasons as a starter.

That said, the potential is most def there. I don't think he plays that much this season, other than goal line situations. But, if he can improve on things like route running, catching with hands instead of body, and being more fluid and comfortable in and out of his breaks, he will be a player. But, it's gonna take some time.

Love the signing

They hope he learns from Closton. If it's that bad for him as a wr put 25 lbs on him and make him a TE

Payton seems to have a program in place for guys like this. I can only imagine the sales pitch:

"Hey- you ever hear of Marques Colston? Jimmy Graham? Yeah? Well, you have more major college experience than either coming out of college. Look what I did for them. But hey, if you think someone else can develop you better, go ahead..."
