I would have to say that I am moderately excited about this signing. It's early enough in camp, and with 3 Preseason games left, that Lelie can learn the offense and be comfortable by opening day. I think he really is what Haley hoped Toomer would be in KC. He's a tall, long armed WR that can stretch a defense even if he's lost a step. Unforunately I don't think Toomer has the speed anymore to be more than an insurance WR through the rest of camp.
To me, Lelie is what Toomer was supposed to be when signed. A 6'3 target that can get vertical. Unfortunately looking at Toomer in camp, he can't stretch the D much anymore...he does however have good hands.
