Not just picking on your post. He has the look of a solid #1 and if he's still improving, there's really no questions about him.
If you look at his games with Burrow from game #2 to #9, when he started to be targeted more, he was 603 yds and 4 tds in those games. I don't see any reason he couldn't improve and be a 1200+ yd, 10(ish) td receiver for the next several years.
He had a bit of an issue with the dropsies on some easy passes but i think that should improve with experience. I don't think it was as much a 'hand size' issue as it was concentration.
It’s laughable that people trying to say he can’t be a #1 because he isn’t 0.06 seconds faster and didn’t make Brandon Allen look like Joe Burrow.
The type of production he had for a second round rookie WR was absolutely outstanding and things should only get better.
