I really don't recall reading anything about him in camp or seeing much from him in Pre-season. Is this another ESPN just totally missing the point or has this guy shown something that no one is talking about?
WIDE RECEIVER (7): A.J. Green, John Ross, Tyler Boyd, Damion Willis, Auden Tate, Alex Erickson, Ventell Bryant
Green will start the season on the shelf while he recovers from an ankle injury. Willis, the undrafted free agent, will be his replacement for the season opener, according to coach Zac Taylor. Willis went from a bubble player to securing a spot before the preseason finale. Tate, a seventh-round pick in 2018, had a productive preseason with eight catches for 68 yards and a touchdown.
I asked Ben about that prediction this morning saying it was a bit of a reach to pick him over Core or Malone considering Bryant only has caught 5 passes so far and hasn't appeared in the 1st half of pre season games. His response
Oh it’s definitely a reach. Chalk it up to the recency bias and Bicknell’s comments about him the other day.
