Sunday observations

-hard to not like what we are seeing from the WR room, even with out Maye on the field. DeGennaro looks like he can play in the league. I hope they get him to the PS. I like Dixon as well. both eventually may be better options than Chism? who continues to make catches. Williams looks like he will make plays this season if given the shot. I still see some lapses in his route running, and his ability/desire (?) to fight for a contested ball. ce be very accurate and make every throw.

Chism has a very specific skill set, namely the Edelman/Welker quick lateral movement set + the strength to pick up YAC by breaking tackles. DeGennaro is closer to Boutte/Williams.

I’m not sure I agree, I think that may be too limiting. I see some AJ, or maybe Mack Hollins style WR play in him. He just doesn’t have their physique, at least not yet.

6'1 196 is nice size.
2 inches taller than Boutte, 5 lbs lighter.
Definitely more muscular than Boutte, he's pretty ripped up.
It's weird, but wearing number 23 makes him look smaller.

Agree he’s got a good build for the position. Still needs to bulk up a good bit to compare to Mack or AJ. A really good bit.

Ya, he will never catchup to AJ in that regard, AJ is a rare bird with his size/thickness.
AJ weights more than Hollins and is 3 inches shorter, he's a unicorn.
Build wise DeG looks very similar to Hollins, just shorter.
But yes, he could add another 5ish lbs, maybe 10.

yes, I was not comping DeGennaro to anyone, especially JE or Welkie.
I think he could have some versatility at X,Y or Z, and present some mismatches.
he needs some time in this offense, so I am hoping PS this year.
potentially more upside than Chism from my limited views on him so far (5 times=2 games, 3 practices)
