He doesn't have the ability to making people miss with the ball. You have to use his quickness to get to a spot and then throw him the ball behind the defenders.

I was pissed off when I found out the Chiefs were starting him off splitting time between different positions. I said his best chance of success was succeeding as a receiver and he should spend the majority of his practice time learning that.
It shouldn't surprise people that that's how it turned out. I completely disagree that you have to throw him the ball behind the defenders. He became a legit slot receiver at the end of the year. He was making back shoulder catches, caught several deep routes, etc... was probably the Chiefs' most reliable 4th quarter receiver toward the end of the year.
The Chiefs would have really benefited from keeping him. They lost him because some dumbass team overpaid him to play a role he's not suited for. As a possession receiver, he was an excellent option.
