Decent chance Lucien beats out Mitchell
That's a very interesting comment. This training camp will be a very tough receiver competition. Amendola and Hogan have their hands full with the rookies that just showed up. This camp will be as much fun as the year Dobson, Thompkins and Boyce showed up. All three had skills. Thompkins seemed to get on the same page as Brady and then faded.
Lucien and ASU his running mate, DJ Foster, bring great skill sets to camp as rookies. Lucien is a good receiver who will challenge Amendola for a spot. Foster is a running back who converted to wideout and is going to give White a run for his money and could be a great depth pickup for Lewis. And don't forget, James White showed us a lot last season after Blount and Lewis went down.
Mitchell is a solid X receiver who reminds me of David Givens - great hands, tough over the middle, breaks tackles, and able to make the tough catch on the outside. His video against SEC defensive backs, many of whom got drafted or signed, gives me greater confidence than some of these kids from mid-majors who didn't face elite speed and tackling. I think Mitchell makes the team and takes over for JoJo Lafell, if he can get on the same page with the QBs.
My new binkie is 6'5" 225 lb De'Runnya Wilson WR/TE out of Mississippi State - a behemoth X receiver who caught 60 passes in the SEC and is really a basketball player turned receiver. Great hands, no speed whatsoever. The Ravens should have signed him to play with Jump Ball Joe Flacco.
