But, after watching lots of video on him, the one thing that stands out is his lack of competition. He has not played against NFL caliber corners, with a couple of exceptions.
Yes, his split time and footwork will get him separation initially, but will he be able to maintain that on down field routes.
Will his size hinder him on 50/50 balls?
His huge hands should help, but he doesn't really have an explosive vertical.
I am just going to trust that Reid already has a plan on how to use him and I WILL ALWAYS trust that any WR with even a little talent will be maximized by Mahomes.

You heard what Veach/scouts/Reid said (can't remember exactly who it was). They want guys who will run the right route each time and every time.
We've already got Hardman who doesn't run the right routes and can't even keep running the way Mahomes wants him to when the play breaks down. And those guys are still around.
I don't think they're interested in this "he needs to be coached up but look at the talent!!!!" shit anymore. Not until they get some reliable dudes in the WR ranks.
