He still has an elite trait...his "separation burst". He recieves the ball very well from what little I have seen. I was hoping to see more from him by this point, and I think we will by December, but I imagine a great deal of time, effort, and reps have gone to JSS and MVS, in an attempt to get THESE veterans where they need to be...if it has taken them a few months to produce at a high level, you can imagine how long it takes a rook. Catching punts is mostly confidence...imho it is on the coaches for putting a unconfident player in a position to fail. He should do better, yes, but today's punters are kicking 50 yd knuckleballs and he should have a mental break.
