Sounds like Bishop and Hamlin have alternated with the 1st team today.

I'm starting to wonder. Joe Marino said MVS took zero snaps with the 1s yesterday, while Claypool, Shavers, Hamler all got a couple. And MVS doesn't play any special teams like those three do. I could see the last two spots going to Shavers and Hamler based on what we've heard about them so far.

It just goes to show the metric is basically useless IMO. Receivers inline or in the slot are going to have an inherent advantage, defensive coverage affects it, offensive scheme, etc. It's too context driven to draw any meaningful conclusions. Anyways pure yards of separation is somewhat overrated IMO. A pass catcher's job on a play is to create leverage that gives the QB a throwing window. There is no way to measure that on a computer chip like NextGen tries to do.

One other note which explains why he thinks MVS has an uphill battle - apparently Claypool, Hamler, and Shavers all took 1st team reps today, but MVS tool none. That's something to monitor.

Joe Marino was at camp today. Here are his notes:

From earlier:

It's known that he was dealing with an elbow injury that affected his mechanics for the last half of the season. Presumably he's fully healthy now and back to his usual throwing motion.
