You want a deep threat? Send him long and just have ASmith chuck him the ball. If he catches a couple of those types of passes early in the season, defenses will have to respect it and adjust their defensive plans accordingly- opening up the underneath for everyone else.

Well, the issue with that is that he can't get off the line fast enough to give Alex time to throw downfield to him. While he is fast, he has a delayed start every time because he can't beat the press.
We could march down the field for entire drives just throwing 10 yard sideline passes real high to him.
Unfortunately he's a one trick pony, but we aren't using his trick.
