‘There are three top candidates. Second-year man Khalil Shakir, who played 50% of his snaps as a rookie in the slot. Shakir had 12 of his 15 total catches from the slot, counting playoffs. Free-agent signee Deonte Harty from New Orleans, who’s 4.39-second speed in the 40-yard dash makes him a run-after-the-catch threat. (That was an unofficial time from his pro day.) Harty had 36 catches for 570 yards for the Saints in 2021, a big 15.8-yard average. He played 35% of his snaps from the slot that year and had 16 of his catches from the slot. Sixth-year veteran Trent Sherfield, a free-agent signee from Miami. He had 30 catches for 417 yards for the Dolphins last year. He played 50% of his snaps in the slot and had 13 catches from the slot.’
