Well, for one thing, he had separation against the Steelers last week. He beats his guy at the line and then has a step and a half on him racing towards the end zone. Taylor just underthrows him and forces him to work back and make a pretty amazing leaping catch while running away from the ball. I don't know, if you pointed me at that play alone, I'd tell you that's a great receiver.
He also had 18 receptions for 18.6 yards per reception in 5 games last season catching passes from DeShone Kizer and popped off in the final week for 115 yards against the Steelers.
This was New Years Eve last year.
I don't see where he's washed up.
