Very excited to Adams, Clinton-Dix, Linsley, and Rodgers develop this summer.  I think the first 3 have pro bowl talent.  Not sure if Rodgers does but could easily see him developing into a very solid, well rounded starter (just never on the level of a Gronk, Graham, Gates, Witten, etc.).  

 

Wish I had the same confidence in the "red shirt" guys like Thornton, Bradford and Goodman.  Not because they can't improve/develop but because we saw literally nothing from them last year.  Hard to get excited about guys you know nothing about.  

 

EDIT: Goodson....not Goodman.

Red shirt rookies.

 

FWIW, Ketchman insists we will see a big jump from RR in year two, that he has star potential at the position.  Whenever he runs it just always shocks me that he ever started as a WR at Cal.  Sure he put on some weight to play TE but I don't think all that added weight was in his feet!

We haven't seen them, but Thompson and MM have. Let's see what happens on draft day and that should offer some hints about the red-shirt players going forward

One of the really impressive plays for Adams was the fake spike against Miami. He didn't look like he knew what was about to happen or was even prepared for it, but he reacted quickly and made a lot out of what realistically could have been a disaster. If he catches it and runs inside or even tries to push his way to the endzone then it's game over, but he was smart enough to get what he could and get OOB. If he keeps playing smart like that then he has a pro bowl/all pro future.

“We’re not quite going to be on the same page every single time, but if you cannot line up right, if you can’t get the checks, and if you can’t get what you’re supposed to do every time, then there’s no way you can possibly be on the field when I’m out there,” Rodgers said then. “If those guys can’t cut it, then there’s no way they can possibly be on the field. It doesn’t matter how physically talented they are.”

 

 

What A-Rod is suggesting is physical skill is secondary to Mental prowess at WR.  This explains why Nelson appears so fast for a 'white' guy.  It also explains why Janus was rarely seen on the field in spite of his tallants, slower learner.  Shocking that ROTTT brought in dum dum Colt Lyer?a for a look.  Maybe TE's don't need to be smert.  

I suspect Uncle Ted reached for Rodgers in the third rd last year because they knew he had hands and was a fast learner.  40 times be damned.
