Basically what I was thinking. Big slot guy. Almost a TE hybrid. Does BB bring back the (I shudder to say his name) AH H-Back formation since we got rid of the FB.
Agreed.
He's going to replace two pieces of dead meat. N'Keal Harry and Dalton Keene. He'll catch more passes in the preseason that both combined in their careers. He has all of the tools to be Mac's safety relief valve, especially on third down.
I felt his problems were shitty route running and catching with the body and not the hands.
No question. But his lack of self improvement and lack of desire to improve made things worse.
Agreed. He seems to lack the desire to be the best he could be.
Rookie free agent that doesn't have all the physical tools just signed a second contract because he has that winners drive.

Another UDFA. BB plans to make him a WR. I hear he has good hands.What do we need with another center? Keeping him away from Miami!

No it's not smart. But it takes two to dance. I don't think there is a market out there for him. If NE could get someone to take 1/2 that contract they should jump.
Sometimes when you evaluate a player and sign him for 2 years, you let it play out after substaour patiencendard 1st year. (sometimes not)
Agholor will unfortunately continue to disappoint like he always has. He's never lived up to his potential. His career catch% is below 60. It's like he lacks concentration.
A catch % under .60 is common - and common to some good receivers.
I have always stated this. People post stats as if they are fact, they are not fact they are stats and can be manipulated to support any argument. Take passing yards this one always kills me. A one yard pass to a slot receiver who runs 50 yards before being tackled turns into a 51 yard pass. That shit is dumb
But stats can be used to paint a picture. They're not the be all end all but there is merit in most stats. Agree with the pass yard formula but it is what it is.
