You know who else does that? Reek. I was so impressed with how hard he worked this offseason. |
From what I understand, they're already working out with Reek. But it's the minutiae, the little bits of experience that guys like Rice and Largent, Chris Carter, etc. have in their brains about how to get open consistently against DBs that might be faster, more athletic, bigger, etc. than they were that would be invaluable to these guys. It would be the difference between being a guy like Phillip Dorsett who's just fast but not a great receiver/route-runner and being Edelmann or Fitzy.
Fast and athletic will only get these guys so far. Smart and cagey will make them consistently productive when their speed fades. Or when they run into that guy who is faster and more athletic.
