For a raw guy who was touted as a physical freak during the draft process, he hasn't shown anything, to me at least, that makes me think that he's going to be anything more than a JAG in this league.
Guys who are actually physical freaks tend to physically dominate against 3rd string guys during the pre-season. I saw a lot of Kpass getting easily blocked and washed out of plays by guys who didn't end up making NFL rosters or are currently backups/practice squaders in the league.
If he magically does end up becoming a solid player, then great, I'm wrong. But I think the chances of that happening are close to nil.

Well, personally, I'm holding out hope that the fact he only has 5? 6? years of football under his belt, that our coaches can figure out a way to use him consistently...
He is a freak, and he does flash on tape (at least to me), and I hope the young man can learn how to harness his gifts..
But I completely acknowledge the fact that I am going full optimism here
