I could still see 500 yards on 40-50 catches because Andy will find ways to get him the ball, but he won't play in 2-minute drill/hurry-up scenarios, which is normal with Andy's philosophy about rookies anyway. But if he only nets say 35 catches in 2023, we shouldn't be too concerned. Not yet.

It's gonna come down to how quickly he learns his routes. If Mahomes loses trust with him his targets will go down, much like with Hardman and Moore.
