Just two years ago, he played all 16 games, and averaged 4.4 ypc for 458 yards with two TDs, and also averaged 9 ypr and 389 yards receiving with two TDs.
That is 847 all-purpose yards and 4 TDs. This was after the Shazier concussion.
I think using Gio more as an active receiver in a pattern (instead of staying home to block on 3rd downs...) will finally use more of his potential.
Everyone loves Gio the person, but we have somewhat forgotten about Gio the player. Maybe this is the rationale for the mustache? Maybe no one will see him coming.
That is my "forgotten guy". Who is yours?
Love Gio's mustache lol
My guy is Jesse Bates III. I see him improving big time this year at tackling after last year's debacle with improved LB play
in front of him and Vonn Bell playing next to him. This guy is a ballhawk and a great Returner when he gets that ball in his
hands. With the way they invested in the D-line and Linebackers I see Bates as the Free Safety getting a lot of Turnovers
and even TD's.
