NFL absolutely has room for gadget players. But gadget players typically offer ST value. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how often teams that used jet sweep ran the option at Macl the last two years here. Or if he gets involved with screens or flatsnthat can open passing lanes for the X or z to slant in. Getsy will have to manufacture touches for him but should also be able to use him to manufacture touches for other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Stupid grab by Kmet when Fields was already by. But it was a weak call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put 2 good WRs on a field with him and it will look a lot different. He can stretch a field because he can get behind you. He is not a punt returner. He can be a good KR, gunner, and 4th WR. There is no player on team that can hit outside runs as well as he can on jets. He is getting first downs where others wouldn't. Two of those a game makes a difference to a team. He can line up in backfield as well like Patterson. Making my point: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like in recruiting and they label guy ATH because he doesn't have a true position. Velus is an elite athlete. You have to figure out ways to unlock what he can do to help your team. We all want guys who can do anything everything well. Those are rare. Bottom line is even if he can't catch reliably you can't ignore him. The thing DC's fear more than anything is sudden scores. That is what Velus can do. That is what Harry, St. Brown, etc cannot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
