He won't remember, because there's a good chance he concussed himself when he flashed.

Edit - I'm being too harsh on KJ. Maybe playing the slot is what he needs? He was strictly a boundary CB in the Texans scheme, so the "position switch" could be a good thing.

He’ll always have his pre-season pick 6 from last year. 
 

Also I just have little faith In DBs being better elsewhere than what McDermott got out of them. You might be right though, a switch to slot could help.

2018 1st Round Pick Rashard Penny =>Broken Finger in Preseason, injured knee in season = IR

He's got bad memories of the grape stomping lady

Well, in fairness, he did say Tua changed water into wine before he walked on water the following day, which was where i was going with the comment to begin with.

A lot of concentration drops. Not too worried about his hands.

It always is. I can't even begin to say how many times I have heard this exact statement from people regarding a player when drops come up. Maybe it is concentration drops, maybe it's not, but it's funny how that's almost like a programmed response or how the belief is that the concentration drops will go away. He was horrible about dropping passes in college for a couple of years. Maybe it gets better, maybe it doesn't. Maybe it doesn't need to. TO had drop issues his entire career. 

I do get that you're saying that because I said "hands", but obviously my reference is alluding to drops more so than anything.

There is reason to be optimistic about Reagor's ability.

There is also reason to not expect much until you see it  (his drop history and the Eagles drafting WRs history)

He's worlds better on a talent level than the backups to the backups Wentz had last season.

 

We can also call him 'The Dragon' after Game of Thrones so that's a bonus.

Reagor was bad for drops last year? Sure. He also was playing with the worst QB of any WR in the draft and was visibly frustrated at points of the season. He was also good as far as drops in 2018.  Drops can  vary a good deal year to year.

And, yeah I know T.O. had a lot of drops I watched him a good amount with the Eagles and Cowboys (think he dropped more with them). T.O. isn't the only example. He is just the first that comes to mind cause he's an all time great and he's somewhat recent.

Quote

 

Twenty-one years ago this week, Bill Walsh stood before the skeptical Bay Area media and defended a controversial decision. He told them that the 49ers' troubled rookie wide receiver would remain a starter despite several bad performances.

The rookie's name was Jerry Rice.

The 49ers, fresh off a victory in Super Bowl XIX, were 6-5 and fighting for their playoff lives. Joe Montana's passing numbers were off. Rice, the team's top draft pick, had 26 receptions in 11 games, but he also dropped 10 balls, some of them at the worst possible times. He was coming off a game in which he dropped two passes, fumbled once, and caught just one pass. 

 

Here's a little tidbit on the GOAT for you.
