Also, that ability he has to adjust to the leather in the air - either by adjusting/coming back to the ball or by rising and timing his leap - is a massive skill in itself that a whole lot of receivers in the NFL just don't have. One of the harder things for a CB to cover is a receiver who they think they're sticky to and in position to bat or intercept but who in turn changes the catch point by stopping early and rising to high point at a junction the corner just can't time or affect.
Reckon the Chiefs coaching staff and his new Chief teammates will also bring a whole lot of refinement to how Rashee sets up his routes with instruction not always found at lower level coaching.
Optimistic for this kid.
