I'm not saying he a world-beater or that he's even a lock to make the team, but Erickson has proven that he belongs in the league, with precise routes, great agility and excellent hands.
Furthermore, he was a former QB (not half bad either), thus he can be used for 1 play a game on reverses/throws/gadgets/etc. I hate those plays and they don't always work, but the threat of someone on your team who CAN do that, is valuable, even if only a little bit.
People forget that his only TD of his career, he beat Bradley Roby WHILE LINED UP OUTSIDE; no slot, no picks or rubs, just pure speed and beating his man with timing and skills.
He should remain on this team for the next 5 years, as the last receiver on the roster.
Most of us took it that way as well (pretty obvious).
The last few years injuries have hit the Bengals WR pretty hard. Green has missed 20 something games. Ross has missed what 14 to 16...Boyd missed what 3 last year.
Erickson had every chance to really step up and be a factor.
I like his hands and route running. Problem is he has no wiggle after the catch or afterburners.
He had no TDS.Last year He has one for his career.
The WR room is,really loaded with talent this year. There may not be room for Erickson. Plus they signed Mike Thomas
His return jobs were given to better performers.
He belongs on a NFL roster if you need a possession guy.
But the Bengals have those guys already
Erickson could play for a WR needy team like the Jets or Giants.
