I continue to be nervous every time he is getting ready to catch a punt. I really like his potential, but he's not getting younger. Age crushes speed.

It's not as simple as that, IMO.
Its about leverage and strength in technique getting free of coverage when working from the slot.
I'm not saying impossible, but Gramt is at a "real" size disadvantage, when in contact.
Open field, no question, he can just flat out move.
Being 5'9" is one thing, but height does become an issue at a certain point. How many WRs are playing at a high level at Jakeem's size?MY thought is are you really at that much more of a disadvantage at 5'7 than you were at 5'9. Or from a Dolphins comparison... is Grant really at that much more of a physical disadvantage than Albert Wilson? Of course if all things are equal I would prefer a 6' receiver over a 5'8 receiver, but I'm just wondering is Grant at 5'7 really at that much of a greater disadvantage than some of the 5'9 receivers that don't catch as much flak about their size as Grant does.
Underrated...NO
underachiever ...YES
