"Teams already know who he is, and what he is," Brugler said."It's not like a first-year starter coming in and you've only heard all the hype. He has a lot of tape out there. Is it a little missed opportunity for him? Yes. He primarily was an inside receiver, so he did not get the opportunity to show he can be an outside receiver, too. More of a missed opportunity to show he could get better in some areas."C.J.
