Well, hasn’t that always been the problem and has continued to hold him back.I believe that Atwell is actually a pretty good WR. The problem is simply his size and that he offers nothing on special teams.
If he were a returner, too I wouldn't even consider that the Rams would move on from him.
Sure he has good hands. He’s not big enough to block effectively. He’s got more straight line speed than lateral agility. She is not always able to separate and is easily bumped at the line which is a problem in a timing based offense.
Plus he was displaced by a veteran street free agent who not only is taller but was a better fit in the offense.
Maybe they keep him as insurance, but it seems that if they dont sign a free agent WR then I’d expect them to draft one. Most agreed that Kupp’s recent injuries are a concern and don’t think Tutu is able to perform effectively as the number two receiver in a scheme that requires him to block.
