I know it's too soon and all that jazz, but I think people expect a much-hyped top 5 WR to set the world on fire from day 1. AJ Green did. It was nothing but great news about him from jump.
So if Chase is disappointing in camp and preseason, he's not going to get much leeway. Especially not considering who we passed on to get him. This isn't to say we should label him a bust or anything stupid. It's to say that the higher the pick, the higher the expectations.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
