Thomas Jr. averaged 17.3 yards per snag in his final season at LSU and continued to act as a splash-play specialist in the preseason, with three catches for 93 yards. Remember, this is a nearly 6-foot-3, 210-pounder with 4.33 speed.

I haven't been paying close attention to CAR obviously, but I think I remember seeing a couple reports that they really went out and tried to upgrade their offensive pieces, though besides Diontae Johnson, I couldn't tell you exactly who they got.
For Young's sake, I hope they did, and I hope Canales finds ways to keep him from getting killed. Just don't believe that Canales is some offensive magician. I feel pretty strongly that Baker had a pretty significant influence on TB's offensive successes last year, and that it should really be looked at as more of a collaborative season, rather than some miraculous rescue mission by Canales.

Their RB is a really nice player that they drafted. But he will start the year hurt.
They also added Legette as well as Diontae to Thielen and Mingo. Plus they added J'Tavion Sanders who a bunch of us were looking at for KC at tight end. [Reply]

Damn, congrats to him!
He's been everything he was advertised to be and maybe more. With Kirk, Engram, Etienne, Gabe Davis, and Thomas, Jags have a lot of weapons. [Reply]

I knew he sucked when I couldn't ever remember his first name. Everytime I thought of the dude, his name always popped out to me as Tony Franklin.

Credit to AD Mitchell being a good player but as a Chiefs fan watching that I can’t help but think of us scoring at will on the Texans with that horrible secondary [Reply]

I wanted AD but Worthy will be just as valuable to us this year. I do think AD is going to be a beast, wish we had both.
Texans with that horrible secondary Yeah, they have some good players but Colts WR's were running open at will. [Reply]
