So I’m excited about finally having this option as long as he uses it sparingly.
Without a doubt he will need to get coached up on separation so he’s not just a jump ball WR.

It should really only be important in late game situations, but you always want to pick the open guy over the jump ball. I think Mahomes tries to play it the "right way" which is hit the open guy and don't force crap if you don't have to, and with Reids schemes there is often someone open.
I do like that the guy is solid, which makes me think he has the dedication to really work on it vs just relying on talent. But that also means we probably won't see anything from him quickly either.
