Based on the films I watched he also seems track/adjust to the ball better and makes some tough catches , Hardman highlights include sweeps or wide open catches that still look like he’s fighting the ball.

Is it weird that this pick seems a lot better with the addition of Justyn Ross as an undrafted rookie free agent? I just like having huge upside paired with immediate production. You know you're getting SOMETHING out of your WR additions, and you might get a hell of a lot more than you paid for.

Yeah those are some nice releases. I'm guessing he starts in the slot and hopefully by the end of the season he can work his way outside.

Maybe reid sees this and finally incorporates some damn slant routes in his offense

Skyy wins in the first 5 yards.

You can watch this and practically SEE Mahomes getting the ball to him in a way that his QB in college is absolutely not.

Who
 
The Chiefs waived receiver Chris Finke on Tuesday. He signed a futures deal with the team in January after spending some time with the team last summer.

Be interested to see how Skyy does against press coverage.

Pre-draft writeups said he could beat press off the line. I never really understood the CP dislike towards the kid. I get the fact that he's on the short side, but other than that he checks off the boxes.

WIth regard to press coverage, PFF (grain of salt) said: "College football doesn’t use nearly as much press coverage as the NFL, so it can be difficult to look at how players performed against it. But Moore actually saw a reasonable volume of press coverage. He had a top-five PFF receiving grade in this draft class against press coverage in 2021, generating over 3.5 yards per route run on those plays. Generally, receivers that play the X-position have height and length on their side, but that’s because those are tools that typically help defeat press coverage. Quickness, footwork and expertise in releases off the line of scrimmage also help defeat it, and Moore has all of those in abundance. "

Maybe Skyy Moore is too close to Sly Morris. Beat down those old fears, because Mahomes!

(don't pick #84)

Sly was a stud out of the gate.

Andy also made a comment about this.

I wonder if Morris had come around like 5-10 years later what he could have been.

I can't remember the injury he had, but the dude just wasn't the same at all after his recovery. I know guys DID recover from all kinds of horrific injuries in the late 90s, but it wasn't nearly as systematic and ordinary as it is now.

Seems like he was just destined to be a broke dick.

"Morris' career in Kansas City lasted for a single season. He caught 48 passes for 678 receiving yards and three touchdowns in 15 games.

His playing career ended after he tore his right ACL on the last day of Organized Team Activities before his second season. After two years of rehab, Morris tore the labrum in his hip. He then went to a camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but he suffered an injury to his left leg in OTAs before deciding to retire.

Morris is still decked out in all Chiefs gear on his social media pages. He attends alumni week every season and still spends time with the former teammates who were drafted the same year as him like Dante Hall.

His Super Bowl viewing experience was a bit different than Anderson's, as he cheered and watched his former team rally to a 31-20 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV.

"Man, that was awesome," Morris said. "I lost my voice yelling that night."

Morris now does a lot of on-set design work for movies and TV productions. He also coaches at Lusher Charter in New Orleans"
