What are the thoughts on this guy after we've seen him with some meaningful playing time? We've seen him a lot in preseason over recent years, where he has certainly looked for, but out with the actual offense in meaningful games running real plays and routes you really get a better idea of the player. I've got to say I like the physical skills, he's decently tall with good reach but from what I can see he has pretty good fluidity, which sometimes those lankier guys don't always have. Right now targets and snaps are being divided heavily among 6 different guys, but while not at a 100 percent rate he seems to be executing pretty well when given a chance and Fitzpatrick seems to trust him a lot. The team is also making sure he gets his run, as even Parker is rotating in and out to give everyone a shot.

I'm sure there are some with more insight than me, but to my eyes it looks like this guy should be a solid option to fill one of 5 or 6 receiver spots next year, and I think he's got upside like Rishard Matthews, though a different type of receiver.
 
Plays with passion. Good route runner, nice hands and has enough speed to make it in the nfl. He's taken advantage of his opportunity
 
Another guy who has proven that our staff knows how to coach up players. If he and Albert stay healthy they are solid depth behind Hurns, Parker and Preston
 
We have 6 WR under contract for next year, most under multi year deals. Only way we draft a receiver is if they plan on cutting Wilson or Ford or if Williams doesn’t recover well from surgery and rehab. I think we should leave the position be and roll with these 6. I like what I’ve seen out of Ford and Wilson these last few weeks.
 
Parker Williams hurns and Wilson are locks next year I think. How many do we carry, 6? Not sure ford can get his foot in one of the last two slots.
