Starting to really worry about their pro personnel evaluation process.

slighty overdramatic. The guy is here for camp and we’ll see. He was 1 of only 7 players with a KR TD.  And 10th or 13th? In return avg

 

Kickoff Returns will become way more common if touchbacks move to the 35

 

Kickers will be putting the ball inside the 5

I like him.  Feel like he hasn't gotten a great shot at wr.  Hard nosed, hard running guy who at worst is just a returner but can also contribute on offense as a gadget guy.  With a real qb maybe can develop more.

I liked the comparison to Cordarelle Patterson by someone earlier.

 

It’s possible he come become that on a team that has a great foundation

The WR Beane would’ve drafted at pick 22 if we never traded for Diggs.

He's still in the league? I can imagine that call

 

Laviska: Hello

 

Beane: Laviska, Brandon Beane of the Buffalo Bills. How are you?

 

Laviska: Sitting on the couch eating oreos. Is this for real? 

 

Beane: And we want you to play First Base.

This is going to be a fun thread to revisit in August

We have our WR 1 and 2 in Kahlil Shakir and Keon Bust!  🤣🤣🤣

Gotta be a camp body

If the touchback rule gets changed to the 35 he could actually be an asset as a kick returner.  That's all I got man.  LOL.

I was so excited about him as a prospect until he ran his 40 looking like a drunken father running away from the cops in an old sweatshirt. 

 

What did I ever do to you?

someone tell me if he’s still any good? I feel like I’ve seen him returning kicks recently and he’s pretty good at it.

 

To me, he's kind of like this year's Chase Claypool without the history of public toxic behavior.

 

He was one of Seattle's primary KR last season and they cut him in early December - I think it was after he muffed one kickoff but recovered on the 12 yard line, then fumbled on another resulting in a turnover against the Jets.

Wonder how much they paid? I had one in my teens. I wasn’t a fan. It was cramped and the interior smelled like smoke. It ran ok, I guess. It wasn’t very stylish, but then again none of those French cars are. I wouldn’t buy one again.

A draft day Fav of mine. Hasn’t really done ***** since entering the league though. 

I remember him being touted as a Deebo Samuel type because of his body and strength.  Ran a 4.58 at the combine.  

Can he outrun Coleman to the cafeteria?

99% sure they would have taken Jefferson if Diggs went somewhere else.

Vikings pry take Jefferson if a team above us drafting traded for Diggs.  Playing the "what if" game is pointless despite me doing it with that comment.  Lol.

Not sure if that's a good comparison.  Chase Claypool started his career with Roethlisberger in the final years of his prime putting up two 800 yard plus seasons.  There was some hope that Josh Allen would bring him back to that level.  Didn't work out.  Shenault with the drops and the injuries had his role significantly reduced in year 2 with the Jaguars to the point they traded him for peanuts to the Panthers.  I think he's here as a kick return specialist only but I expect Codrington to beat him out.

Yeah, I loved him before the draft. He hasn't lived up to my hopes.

 

But he ought to be a good gimmick guy occasionally and maybe a returner as well.

[Back2Buff]

My question is, can he be a gunner defending kicks?  That is what we need in the Hollins replacement, not someone to return kicks.

 

This is Hamler's competition for the PS spot.

[Florida Bills Fanatic]

He was a pretty good player in college.  His career is a good example of what happens to a good player that gets drafted into a bad situation with the wrong coaching staff.  He is a very similar player to Samuel and I think he only makes the team as a returner.  I also remember people talking about him potentially becoming a third down back when he came to the league.  I was surprised by this signing, so I'm hoping that Beane was doing more than just throwing crap at the wall to get something to stick.  Hopefully, they have a plan.

I hated him at the draft. Pounded the table constantly that he was massively overrated. I spent countless hours on my former podcast declaring it haha
 

Seems we were at opposite ends of the spectrum lol

lol it does seem like it 

[Bigvinny]

They have to sign like 30 guys to get to 90 for the off-season, doesn't mean they all will make the team, we go through this every year people.
