Watch the 23 tape/highlights.
He’s a 4.4 guy with great hands, who snatches the ball outside his frame, has insane contact balance and power through contact, creating huge YAC, who can win across the middle, short, on gadgets, and who is strong/athletic/tracks the ball well downfield.
He was pretty universally viewed as a top 15 pick entering the year. Then his QB regressed and got hurt and missed him on a lot of shots that he didn’t miss last year, and the backup QB was absolutely atrocious.
I think if you’re familiar with both the Chiefs and Mizzou, you see the fit and matchup. He’s the type of receiver many have been clamoring for, who can do all the stuff Andy Reid wants but who also is physical and has the ability to win as an X.
