His first couple years he would slide away from pressure like he had eyes in the back of his head. His eyes would NEVER waver from downfield, which is why he was so good at converting long down and distances.
Now, it's very obvious that he's feeling pressure, often before it even gets home, and it's effecting how he's seeing the field and moving around.
It's a mental block that he's gonna have to work through. If he could just string a few good games together I think that would break him out of it.

Yesterday on one scramble he actually turn is head 90 degrees backwards to check and see if anyone was chasing him. I've never seen him do anything like that before (except one year against the Lions he did it to tell the officials there was a hold LOL) . Like many mentioned he used to have this uncanny 6th sense that made his spatial awareness just unreal, but now he has the yips so he's looking to avoid contact (and especially being blind-sided)
