Zyg13 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Our receiving core currently consists of Sammy Watkins and a bunch of JAGs. I like the additions of Andre Holmes and Philly Brown. Holmes provides us with a big target that we have been sorely lacking for years, while Brown is a nice depth receiver who can be effective in the slot. However, whenever people discuss our WR core, nobody seems to bring up Kolby Listenbee. This kid was dynamic at TCU, averaging over 18 YPC his junior year and over 19 YPC his senior year. Listenbee posted extremely effective numbers and ran a 4.39 at the combine while battling through a DOUBLE sports hernia. Listenbee has all the intangibles to be a nice find for us and he is finally healthy for the first time in two years. Don't be surprised if Listenbee has a breakout season this year, and emerges as a playmaker that will be apart of this team for years to come.

It's the NFL not the Big 12, he has to prove himself with the big boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all have high hopes that he will be healthy and become a major factor. Fingers crossed, because if it looks like he is "that guy," we have a pick we can use on another area of need instead of WR.

bobs0108 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I am excited for this kid. We might have our guy that can stretch the field and then draft Davis and we will have a solid core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bray Wyatt Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 He will replace Goodwin expect nothing more than that production, if he does more than that's all icing on the cake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewin Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Listenbee was actually inexplicably in a dream I had last night. I can't remember all the details - but it involved a game and how well he played. Sigh - maybe a sign to take a break from this board and football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K D Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 He will replace Goodwin expect nothing more than that production, if he does more than that's all icing on the cake If he can do more than run fast in a straight line without getting hurt then he will be better than Glass Goodwin. It's not asking much. Listenbee is at least built like a football player so I have high hopes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KellyToughII Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I am excited for this kid. We might have our guy that can stretch the field and then draft Davis and we will have a solid core. I am too. If he can be what he was billed coming out then we might have a #2 or at least our sure fire #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 TJ Graham. I am gonna say no on this because TJ Graham looked like he couldnt track a ball in the air to save his life......in the little I have seen of Kolbe it looks like he does that well I dont know what kind of routes he runs and I havent seen him go against NFL corners....so not ready to crown the guy just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Moulds on my A** Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I have nightmares about the Bills all the time. What's your secret? Toking Listenbees? I think he has a chance to contribute. He's as fast as Marquise, is a football player (not track olympian), significantly taller at 6'1. I actually like our starting WRs, Holmes is a very underrated signing. If Listenbee can ball and we add someone in rd1 or 2. I'll be content. Let's hope Clay is utilized more this year and the run game continues to shine.

It seems to me that is more physically stout then Goodwin as well....maybe he doest get bounced like a pinball every time he takes a hit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
