6 games the last 2 years.
Very low pass defense production, very poor missed tackle rate (18+%) and completions percentage (80+%) during those 6 games.
was solid 3 years ago, though.
Competition for Dorian Williams at Sam and LB3, but Williams should win. Buffalo Joe could still win LB4 as well.
Film watchers routinely say defenses pay lots of attention to Kincaid.
In terms of "we can find TEs in round 2-3 who have put up better numbers", the only guys who are off to a better start and drafted in rounds 1-3 the last two years are Brock Bowers (1-13) and Sam Laporta (2-2).
I won’t comb through all 29 TEs drafted in 2023 and 2024, but no names really jump out. Even the big names in this MB the last few years.
Even all his useless hubbub about his weight, why does it even matter?
At 240, he's a mediocre blocker. We didn't draft him to block. We drafted him to be a weapon in the passing game. He can do that at 220, 230, or 240 pounds. Who cares?
2023 counts.
80% catch rate (58% in 24).
311 YAC (274 in '24)
4.4% drop rate (8% in '24)
When targeted, Kincaid's catchable pass rate was in the 30's, but his open rate was high.
He needs to stay healthy and get on the same page as Allen. His 2024 wasn't as good as we all hoped, but he did plenty of good things and his profile as a whole is still promising.
I very much subscribe to the 3 year rule when judging rookies, so Keon still has this year and next year.
Kincaid needs to make a big stride in year 3, but we are no longer the offense he was drafted into.
For context, that likely puts him around 225-230 pounds.
