I watched Bates last night closely. Great trade, he is versatile, athletic, and aggressive. Can play all positions on the line. But I think his best position might be at Center. Hope he makes this team, ideally PR for a year.
I think he is a lock to make this team. He has played well and deserves to be on this team. Red Zone threat and active willing blocker in the run game. We don’t have any other receiver in this roster with that skill set. Plus he is a hungry player with a chip on his shoulder ready to prove he belongs.
