Yeah, I get that Veach liked this guy last year. My only concern is whether he has the brains to be an integral part of the offense. Just to get on the field much this season, he's going to have to absorb a good chunk of the playbook very quickly. And he doesn't seem to be nearly as good playing against zone as he is vs. man. Now, between Kelce and JJSS, he's got access to a couple really good mentors in that regard. But that may take time.
Personally, I think a lot of his routes (outside of gadgets/screens) will be verticals, where he can maximize his current abilities.
Whatever. Just trying not to geek out too much at this point. Better to be pleasantly surprised if he plays more than 5 snaps/game.
