But the guy's never going to just become any sort of 3-down receiver. The instincts aren't there.
Time to simply play the slice with this guy and accept him for what he is, not for what we wish he were (Terry McLaurin...)

I agree. I don't know if he coasts on his athletic ability or just isn't capable of learning those routes and cuts. Yes, he's made some great plays, so has a lot of 2nd tier talent on the roster. But bottom line is he can't be trusted to make routine plays day in and day out. We have him under contract for 2022, but after that I expect the Chiefs to let him walk. Someone will overpay for him and we'll get a draft pick.
