I think Webster deserves his own thread.
PaPa Christian might agree.

I liked what I saw last August.
Well.....he's playing on Sundays. At least last year. 🤷♂️ We'll see for this year. He will have competition and he knows it.
I have a hunch about him. Just needs an opportunity and improve blitz pickup from what I saw....on SUNDAYS (not the FCC 😁)
Some highlights on Wilson

Found some video...
Nice video. Annoying as fuck voice/hype man.
He sounds like he had one semester of forensics as a HS freshman.
I mean this in all sincerity, I hope this goes down as a legendary positive prognostication thread.

Yes but that was August.
Now we need consistency in Sept-February
Hopefully he's worked on his conditioning. Seemed to be an issue in preseason last year.

"Every year, there’s an unexpected star in an NFL preseason. For the Green Bay Packers on Friday at Cincinnati, it was running back Emanuel Wilson.
Wilson turned in a remarkable and poignant performance on the anniversary of his father’s death. He rushed for 111 yards on just six carries, highlighted by an 80-yard touchdown run.
Wilson was living out a childhood dream on a day that will always be significant to him for reasons that extend far beyond football. Fourteen years ago to the day, his father died.
Wilson told NFL Network that one of his last memories with his father was playing football in the yard. He said he could still hear his father saying,
"Smurf, keep working, keep going."
Wilson was 10 when he lost his father.
Speaking from experience, that's a memory that never fades away. It stings at every turn.
For Wilson, he wanted to give up the very thing that was part of one of his final memories with his father.
"Honestly, I kept working. I just kept my faith in God. I wanted to stop playing football after my dad passed,"

Same as Jayden Reed....locker room chemistry. Something else Gutey learned from TT.

Meh... how soon we forget that he just low balled the most loved guy in the locker room. It's not that important to him.

Remind me....was that Rasul or Aaron Jones?
Yeah it matters. He didn't want to pay a 30 year old RB, who will almost certainly miss some time with injury, a boatload of cash. It IS important to him.
The Vikings will run him right into the ground until he's hurt. They don't GAF about him.
Still pulling for the kid. How great would it be if the light comes on, and he makes the jump to stardom.

Year early than a year late.
