Second year player. He spent his rookie year on a few team’s practice squads, but yeah.

I’ve looked a bunch at Chargers blogs and writers and most all of them are baffled by it, and pretty much everyone is saying there’s an argument that he didn’t win the #3 job, but they didn’t see anything that indicated he was worse than the #4 WR there this offseason.

Seems like if he has a full offseason, he’s a guy that’s gonna get you 30 catches, 400 yards, 3-4 TDs in a 16 game season, and obviously provide some much needed downfield speed. Just gotta hope they can get him out there quickly and work him through to get caught up with learning the offense.

Yeah, I mean I think he’s mainly just a deep threat specialist who can stretch the field but that’s valuable in today’s day and game. To have a guy like that as WR4, especially with what Bevell and Urban want to do, is a perfect fit.

Last year he caught 20 of 26 targets for 398 yards. He has a little bit of kick return value. He's only 25. He's 6'1 and around 195 and runs a 4.36 that translated onto the football field. Men, I think the Jaguars might have found their deep threat. 

 

Something else I just found out, he played at LSU in 2015, so him and Chark were teammates at one point. Not for long as he transferred to OSU.

it’s a pretty good assumption that they wouldn’t have. I remember a couple years ago when we had that disastrous looking OL, we were like 3rd or 4th in priority, a handful of good OL options got released, and we just sat on our hands and went into the year with the guys we already had. I ranted for a while about it, because it was just so damn stupid to not do anything. It’s not like we lose our spot or something, so put in a damn claim for anyone you can that the salary makes sense.

I will say, if there's one thing the previous regime did not lack for, it was an overabundance of unearned confidence and belief in the crappy "in house" players they'd targeted.  Absolutely dogged slaves to a deep seated endowment effect fallacy.  Just thoroughly convinced that players in their junk heap, were far better than players in anyone else's junk heap.  Right down to the extremes of ending up losing other players, because they were fiddling around, so worried about trying to "sneak" utterly worthless projects through waivers that they'd do something else instead.

It's always great to have a speedster on the field.  Even if it takes him a while to learn the offense, defenses will have to respect his speed and that will open things up for the rest of the offense.  It doesn't sound like he did anything that was too serious to get himself demoted to the bottom of the depth chart and then cut.  He should be well worth our taking a chance on him.
