As I said before, we do not know if it was a “wasn’t asked to do” rather than “can’t do” situation. I get Heupel’s offense ran a bunch of deep choice stuff and Hyatt was forced into running a lot of flys. But with all these unknowns it just remains to be seen why you'd take him when there may be better options without as many question marks. I'm not even opposed to taking him, I just see better value elsewhere personally.

This is meaningless in arguing he can't run other routes. Just because he gets the bulk of his yards on "fly" routes, and that can be vastly misinterpreted at that, it doesn't speak to the volume of routes he ran whatsoever or prove that he can't run other routes effectively. That's what I want.
