It's all on him.

Eh. Early on he simply ran a lot of bad routes. or paper routes. That first INT he ran it more as an over, instead of breaking it tight behind the LB, which allowed the DB to make a play when the ball arrived. The second one he didn't understand that he needed to slow/stop in the soft spot and his route carried him right into the defender.
Basically he needs to learn the difference between paper routes and NFL routes, and he needs to learn how to find the soft spots in zone coverage.
Somewhere in there he has to learn how to beat press, but Andy can help with that simply by putting him in the slot more often than not.
But yeah, I think he'll be better in 2023. But I'm not betting he'll just figure everything out and be a 1,000 yard WR in 2023. It's just not that easy.
