GoChiefs, you can't necessarily look at his production based on statistics. Especially when you consider that our receivers' stats are reliant on Matt Cassel finding open receivers and hitting them in stride. By the way, he's also rushed for 100 yards on fairly limited carries.
What I've seen this preseason is that Weis has been using him all over the place. So when people call him a matchup nightmare, I don't see why he couldn't be, even if he's not a 1,000 yard guy. The guy's lining up in the slot, in the backfield, and he's showing he can be a legit threat from either spot. And I doubt that Weis has come even close to showing his hand in terms of the creative ways they plan to use him.
No, we haven't seen enough to say he's worth the pick. But you can't possibly tell me that you haven't seen hints that he's going to be as electric as a lot of experts seem to think he'll be.
