It’s rare for rookie WR to do well, that’s why what Terry Maclaurin is doing in Washington is so impressive. I wanted to draft that kid, he tore up the senior bowl.

He's also not beating the jam, so it isn't entirely route running.

100% agree. He's dropped a few too many passes this year, but the guy is unquestionably a valuable player. Seems like a pretty good dude too, and loves being on the Colts. I know he's a bit demonstrative as I think you've mentioned before, but I don't find it too irritating as it usually seems good natured rather than arrogant.

27 receptions 345 yards. 0 TDs who did this rookie season belong to?

None other than Reggie Wayne.

People thought Reggie was a bust till what? Year 3? Some guys just take longer. Not that it has been a long time for Cain imo.

I would probably group that with route running also, but that's me. But yeah, he needs to learn how to handle physical corners at the line.

After a rocky month, asked Eric Ebron if he needed today (4 catches, 70 yds, 1 hurdle, 1 TD): "Absolutely. Just in a funk. I had a few talks with our HC and Jacoby. I told them to get me started early, allow me to be in the game, and I’ll go into a zone where no one can stop me."

It certainly wasn’t

That they adapted to the opponent is the sign of good coaching.

Good post.

I agree completely

He showed promise year 2 but I think really started to get it together year 3

I see the Texans just traded for Gareon Conley. Trying to upgrade their corners.

Wanted to throw some love Sheard's way. He is not spectacular but his presence was sorely missed. I knew we missed him on run defense but he has really made a difference getting to the passer.
