I originally anticipated it taking 8-10 weeks to get him involved in the offense and now think that realistic timeline should be 12-14.
And, yes…I still think his ceiling is Wes Welker (that also split time early in his career splitting time between WR and PR for Amos I before being traded to NE.
Be patient.

I’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t.

I bet Pat will go to the kid more often now.
