Getting to understand all of the subtle nuances involved with adjusting routes according to what a defense is doing is tough enough for gifted athletes who have been playing football their entire lives, let alone for a guy who's still relatively new to the game.
Perhaps it's because of that Princeton brain that he's been able catch on as well as he has? In my lifetime I've seen a few Olympic sprinters fail to convert to WR in the NFL. Yoshi might never be great, but I admire him for giving it his best shot.
As TLL here shows, he has been playing football almost his entire life, so that probably isn't the reason for his struggles in running the
right routes last season.

He played other sports, but he also played football pretty much all his whole life. Played it in grade school, middle school, and high school... and was at Princeton for 5 years.
Thanks for this TLL.

but I know, you guys really love yoshi
True, but I wasn't saying Yoshi was the answer if Tee leaves either. I said he would have to grow a ton to even become a good WR3.
