The Bengals didn't even realize what he could do as a receiver until he was Wes Welker on the scout team last year. They couldn't cover him. I love Gio, but I want them BOTH working and ready when their number is called.
You can't really say that about Rex and Sanu because you haven't really seen Rex as the slot receiver.
Also, he had the fastest short-shuttle in the entire combine the year they drafted him.
