Receivers tearing it up in their first couple years has become a little more common in recent years. But it generally takes some time. 7 TDs behind AJ, Boyd, Eifert, with Driskel throwing the ball and Marvin coaching is impressive in its own right. Enough to give me hope that he can fit right into the the 3rd year breakout category and be one of the many on that list.
He does have his work cut out for him as a 3rd WR on a run first offense with a receiving TE. But if he hits the type of plays he is capable of. If he gets to 7 TDs and 700-800 yards behind a healthy AJ, Boyd, and Eifert would mean our offense is putting up huge numbers.
Yes, I've played fantasy football. like I said above, please name a player that has broken out year three with less than 220 yards receiving the first two years of their career...The answer is zero. Better yet lets round up to 350 yards over the first two seasons...
If this guy was a 3rd round to 5th round pick he would probably have already have been cut, hence my comment about the organization hanging on too long with high draft picks.
