I guess time will tell. I think he’s the most exciting WR in this draft. His 200+ receptions his 2400 yards and almost 30 TD’s in the last 2 seasons shows he can play. I’d take him over any WR on our team currently.
Modeled his game after Welker and Edelman, but not as athletic as those two.Intriguing
Report: Patriots will work out Mac Jones's ex-roommate, who models game after Julian Edelman
Former Alabama receiver Slade Bolden, who was Mac Jones's roommate, will reportedly work out with the Patriots.www.boston.com
Just watched a few clips of him and he does look a lot like Edelman. the three of four shots all showed him 15-20 yards and he seemed to be able to break contact from the defenders. IMO he's s substantial upgrade from Harry and Agholor
You concluded this from a few clips?
Yep. He's much quicker off the line than Harry or Agholor. Great hands which we all kniw Agholor did not have. On two clips, he made a slight move then a hard cut . Harry was never a great route runner, even in college. He got the Patriots and had to run a route for TB12 and could never do it. Agholor is a lazy route runner and sometimes just didn't get where was supposed to be.
Well there is a reason he was an UDFA, and he has been cut, plus the injury. I get that UDFA can make it but to me this one has question marks. And I am equally unsure how anyone could compare him to Harry they play entirely different positions.
They both play WR and are required to run routes, make definitive moves during that route, get to a certain spot and catch the football if they are the target. Not entirely different positions.
Okay that's a stretch so I will leave it alone
It's that time of year to be hopeful!
Comparing a supposed #1 WR to a Slot WR. To me that is like compaing a FB to a scat back
It makes sense to work him out as a slot WR b/c I feel Jakobi is gone. I cannot see BB drafting two WRs this year.
Edelman was not a #1 WR when he came up.
