He's tied with MHJ and BTJ with 5 touchdowns as rookies. No other rookie has more than 3.

He isn't a volume receiver yet, and may never be in this offense, but I do think we are just seeing the surface right now, and by the end of the year we should see more of what is ceiling could be.

Look,

He just needs time, and I wonder if Mahomes needs time to start trusting again. He will be a major wep soon

I'm not going to join in bashing a rookie wide receiver's footwork in the pouring rain that made him lose a wide open touchdown by less than an inch.

If anything that should show promise.

This is how I feel, at least he caught the ball

I don’t think his problems are mental it’s more he doesn’t generate enough force into the ground to be twitchy as an athlete.

Maybe idk... get him in rhythm more and involve him more on regular plays and get him and Mahomes more chemistry and he won't have mental problems on the deep plays.

Right now all of his touches and target are either a deep ball or some gadget play. He should be great on drags/slants and doing the intermediate crossers but we haven't done that for some reason. If we start that and start actually involving him on regular plays instead of just manufactured touches and decoy plays and occasional deep balls, this offense will be back to scoring 30+ regularly.

I don't think Reid has adjusted to the fact that rookie WRs are capable of doing more these days coming out of college. He still thinks that you have to drip feed them concepts and slowly bring them into the offense when really, most good rookies are ready from day 1 these days. Everything still moves too fast for them and concepts still confuse them at times but looking around the league, rookie WRs and young WRs are far more capable of different things than than Chiefs ask of their young receivers.

Even Rice is far more capable of things than they asked of him this season. When they let Worthy off the leash, this offense will be great.
