I mean...I guess I wasn't COMPLETELY wrong. He'll have a longer career anyway.
It's amazing to me how fast these guys careers can just vanish. Through 2 years he looked to be on a standard 2nd day WR development arc. Then in year 3 he stumbled and the wheels just flew off his career. Suddenly he's out there taking futures deals and playing on practices quads literally within months of seeming like he might have a strong career and a nice 2nd contract waiting for him.

For some young guys a new coaching staff/front office is all it takes to derail them, an offensive system that doesn't fit them etc.
