He’s got slow long speed and should never be used as a kick returner, but he has a quickness and shiftiness in his routes that can translate into being that safety valve in the slot if he develops further. A positive sign that he could produce against Jets and Dolphins teams playing out the string. But this is going to be a big offseason for him, the opportunity is there, he needs to grab it.
Yeah, that's why I think Pierce is such a good target. He becomes the "deep threat" and then they have so many guys who would be very good in the short/intermediate. Douglas and Chism are the first guys who come to mind, but Hollins is also a good option, and Williams can run every route too and simply needs to develop as an NFL WR.
Pierce was the #2 ranked free agent WR, and is gonna be 26 in May. He leads the NFL in yards per catch over the last 3 years combined. For his 4 year career, he averaged 18.7 yards a catch. He’d be the perfect deep threat signing for the Pats to match with Maye, who is a great deep ball thrower. He hasn’t been a high volume pass catcher, but that’ll certainly change if he becomes the Pat’s #1 receiver.
That's a problem. It's bad. Maybe it's the environment...idk.
