Yes he doesn't have th speed and wiggle but the kid can catch most anything thrown his way.  As the OP said he's a poor mans AJ Green, Im glad to see we were able to hold onto him after ole Marvin did his usual of screwing any and all rookies.

Moving forward I think he can be a valuable part of this team, heck I would keep him over Ross (who needs to be traded for anything) in a heartbeat!

Didn't he catch just under 50% of the balls thrown his way? That's slightly below Ross and last among Bengals eligible WRs/TEs.

There's clearly a role for him on a NFL roster but those aren't spectacular numbers (although they were spectacular catches).
The thing I want to understand is why all his catches were spectacular - where were the mundane catches that he didn't have to dive for? The QB play may be a factor here but it didn't effect the likes of Boyd and Eifert.
