Maybe we need to give him the Clifford Franklin treatment.

Needs to attack the ball with his hands like a good WR

Strengths.  Drag route and high pointing

problem isn’t his hands

struggles waiting on balls and balls in front of him …he thinks it is just a mental thing 

I’ve shared this young man’s analysis previously…he isnt as polished as many but he really is pretty good

 

 

I’ve said it before, if the ball is well placed he’s good, when he has to try to think about adjusting he loses concentration. That’s a rookie thing. Once he’s more comfortable he won’t have to think about it so much he’ll be fine.

Part of the reason he gets open is his athleticism and part of it is DBs know even if he beats them he’ll just drop the ball every time.

Needs to take a page out of St.Browns book and buy a JUG machine n catch at least 100 a day, everyday until his drops become a part of his past.

I will say that I appreciate the analysis, Raleigh--it is something that we should discuss if we choose to engage in that issue.  The problem with a lot of huddlers is they do not know how to ignore a thread they aren't interested in.  They decide to mock it, feeling that they are mature enough to decide what is thread worthy, and what is not--If i read a thread title that I think is redundant or uninteresting to me, I simply do not click on it.

Kind of an exaggeration no?

Not sure yet tbh. Might be, but it might be legitimate. Leaning toward legitimate.

Genuinely think it’s rookie stuff with him. His age and development coming in as a rookie is a separate convo.

He’s been body catching since early this season which isn’t something that was an issue in college as far as I’m aware. In fact his strength appeared to be his extension in attacking the ball downfield in contested situations. 

He’s been jumping to body catch since the start of the season. Even before the aggregious drops, he was sometimes drifting out of the endzone or to a space that allowed the defender to intervene. If he cuts like he should have, Bryce has another touchdown in the Tampa Bay Game (not to mention the other one the refs stole from Thielen). It’s a habit he has to break. The good part is he is definitely getting open, sometime on some very savvy moves. One of the main reasons to keep watching this season is whether he can put it all together.
