Sorry. Don’t get the signing?

Yup!

Same size, speed, skillset as Tyler Hudson , the UDFA from Louisville. He's always covered but makes the catch most of the time

 

[dang]

Yup!

Well Rams need a WR1B/WR2 I’ll be glad to eat my words but Jefferson is a WR3 and Atwell is probably not much more than a deep threat. So Rams need to keep looking. They also need a high point/strong handed red zone target. And McCutcheon is unproven. So Rams need to keep looking.

Strengths

• Tremendously productive over last three seasons
• Put his name on a long list of school records
• Play strength reminiscent of AJ Brown
• Recognizes acceleration opportunities to play past coverage
• Rare ball skills and instincts as ball-winner
• Basketball background shows when bodying defenders at catch-point
• Defenders catch shoulders, back and hips anywhere on the field
• Diligent in working back to his quarterback
• Uses tracking and stacking to handle deep catches
• Excellent high-point timing and mid-air adjustments

Weaknesses

• Tight hips limit agility to elude press
• Lacks leaping ability and arm length for desired catch radius
• Top-end speed falls below the NFL mark
• Unable to find second gear to run under throws
• Route work doesn't throw defender off the scent
• Below average foot quickness to cross-up corners at route stem
• Disappointing separation burst out of breaks
• Has had issues fighting the football into the middle of the field
• Physical after the catch, but not very elusive

It can't hurt. The competition is good.

Maybe McCutcheon

Yeah, Tutu isn't going anywhere. They aren't gonna give up on a 2nd round pick that fast. But he's gonna have up his game if he wants to be part of the future plans.

Tight hips limit agility to elude press

A rewarding trait to encounter in women.

All this for a possible #6 WR? They are still without a kick returner. He will be lucky to make the team on STs.

The kid produced a game-sealing DPI against Green Bay (in the NFC Championship, no less), played and produced when Tampa Bay had many great targets, and was dominant in college.

I’m not guaranteeing he makes it, but he’s not just a sixth receiver (although I’m secretly hoping Cleveland cuts Jaelon Darden - who is a returner - so I can have my Madden dream of having him and Tyler Johnson on the Rams. …Don’t look at me crazy; I predicted Ramsey, Stedman Bailey, T.J. McDonald and - ugh - Zac Stacy.).
