I think he's going to be a really good player, might be the first WR eval I get right.

He has as much potential as anyone to be really good. I also agree you don't need to run that speed every snap. I just don't recall a snap where I said "wow he's fast." It's not a bad thing. I legit had him pegged as a poor man's version of Tee Higgins with the ability to get to that level. He just didn't show to quite be at the same level as Tee Higgins in college. I still pretty much feel that way, and there is nothing wrong with being a #2 fringe 1k guy in the NFL because that's still really good.

Running that speed though gives you a glimmer of hope that he could be Amari Cooper. It's not that Cooper is light years better than Higgins, but Cooper functions as an 1100 yd #1 so you're facing the better CB a little more frequently and putting up a bit better stats.

Do I think he is the next Justin Jefferson or Ja'Marr Chase? No, I don't see that at all. Could he be that? It's going to take a lot more endurance than he has now, IMO.
