Not saying he is the second coming of AJ or anything like that. Time will only tell, when they put the pads on, if his offseason was good enough to make the squad. 
 If last year was any kind of indication, 7 receivers are needed, especially needing some speed at the lower end of your line-up.

It's great that he's working to improve, but every player in the league is working to improve.  If they aren't, they don't belong in the league.

Lots of things can happen.  However, there is not a lot of reason to logically expect Core to contribute much if he even makes the roster at all.  Green is an elite WR in anyone's book.  Core isn't going to take snaps away from him.  Ross is another Top 10 pick, and they'll be trying to design plays to get the ball into his hands.  Boyd was a 2nd round pick, so he's safe.  LaFell is a great locker room presence, has deep playoff experience, and was productive last year.  He's safe.  Malone is pretty much assured a spot, as they never cut 4th rounders in their rookie year.  Erickson led the conference in kick return yards last year, and any realistic non-injury related hope of Core making the 53 if they keep your standard 6 WR's relies on somebody beating him out for the primary returner job.  They could keep 7, but that's less appealing when you have 2 RB's(Gio, Mixon) and a TE(Eifert) that can split out wide.  On top of that, Core has PS eligibility.  If he does make the main roster, he in all likelihood won't move past AJ, Ross, LaFell, or Boyd on the depth chart.  He won't be the return man, either, so that pretty much indicates that he will be inactive on game day.

They have speed at the bottom of the lineup.  Malone ran 4.4 at the combine and Erickson ran 4.44 at his Pro Day.
