Your current "Forgotten Guy"

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?

We'll have to see if Taylor agrees. Last season he really didn't call Gio's number very much. Marv gave Gio a lot more opportunities, as the stats you mention suggest.

Even with all the receiver injuries last season, Taylor couldn't bring himself to use Gio as WR.
