    I Think he will see playing time before you know it.

    Our current top 3 WR's aren't even over 6 foot.

    I think he's cut from a similar mold physically. However, he was much more inconsistent in college than any of those guys. I have high hopes for him, but he's going to need some coaching.

    Absolutely not, but I don't think anyone expects that. If he can finish the season with 15 catches for 100 yards and 4 TDs, I'll be jumping for joy.

    His physical attributes was what I was referring to. Long, lean, fast, big wingspan. He's raw but I'm hopeful that he can develop into a viable weapon and at least have some RZ success in season one.

    I agree. He may never get to Julio Jones' level, but at least he could. How many receivers have we seen come through here that are talented, but "not the #1 type"? Look at Wheaton. Compared to Bryant (even as a rookie last year), Wheaton was slick, smart, and polished. But he doesn't seem like the type of guy who will ever dominate. Bryant has a lower floor than Wheaton, and WAY lower than Julio and AJ did as rookies, but he has that extra high ceiling, too, just like Julio and AJ.

    I'm not predicting he'll be a top 5 receiver someday, but there's a better chance of it for him than there ever was for Wheaton or Sanders (or Antonio Brown!).
