I keep thinking Jared Wiley (TE-TCU) would be a really good understudy to Travis Kelce.
Both former QBs, both very good option-route guys who understand spacing and timing, and Wiley has an athletic profile similar to Kelce (long, lean, vertical speed). Wiley isn't the blocker…
I'm so fucking excited about this dude. Worthy is fairly getting a lot of attention, but if Wiley becomes a legit weapon, the NFL is just totally fucked. [Reply]
I can't wait to see him running in the open field with a DB calculating the business decision of bringing him down. Would be such an advantage in 2 TE sets if he unlocks the potential. [Reply]
I think what excites me the most is how much more dangerous this will make the 13 personnel.
Yes, it's a potential succession plan for Kelce and looks like a potential draft steal. That shit is awesome.
But that 2022 offense was super dynamic because it was diverse, and one of those aspects of diversity of how effective and threatening the 13 sets were. Jody Fortson gave them a downfield threat with go-up-and-get-it skills that let them create a lot of big plays in the red zone/downfield. I think Wiley is a good replacement for that skillset, but with considerably more upside.
And with Kelce and Gray on the field, too, that's a really dynamic trio of targets who make your passing game thrive but can do enough in the run game to punish teams that defend it with nickel or dime. [Reply]

I didn't realize that Jody Fortson made the 2022 offense so dynamic, here I thought it was Ronald Jones. [Reply]

I kinda wanna say it...but i don't wanna say it....butt fuck it....imma say it anyway.....
And i know this is waaaaay, way far out.....but....if everything breaks right for this kid in terms of health and reaching his full potential.....he could possibly out produce Kelce when it's all said and done.
He's going to get a full career with Mahomes...and Reid is a TE whisperer....just sayin'. [Reply]
