Can't tell if you're giving me shit or not.

Anyway, I don't know about all that. Honestly didn't get a chance to even really take a look at either Coleman or Powell at all. I did think that Ross had a shot after seeing a few TC clips.

Just really liked the way Skyy ran routes and how reliable his hands were.

He's potentially the Chiefs version of Deebo. Do everything kind of guy that can run every route no matter if he's the X/Y/Z/H whatever. He'll probably even run/catch the ball as a RB now and again.

Then when I watched that interview with him and he talked about how invested he was as far as studying the playbook, that's when I thought he had a pretty good shot at making it so long as he didn't just shit the bed in any of the preseason games.

That's actually why I thought McDuffie was going to make it even before PSG1; that episode of the Franchise where he's in his film room in his new home and how he already had it set up with the dry-erase board and all told me a lot about what kind of player he was going to be.

Ditto Karlofogus. He's another 'hit the books as hard as possible' kind of guy.

Those guys are all cut from the same cloth insofar as they are all students of the game even as rooks. Not one of those guys is relying just on their God-given physical talent.

Barring anything catastrophic, these three guys are going to be among the best players on the team for years to come. Mark that down.
