GunnerBill Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 Did Beane only watch Florida games? Shorter isn't a guy I have watched really. Seen snippets of him from watching other Florida offensive players. Think he is a bit one paced lacks a bit of burst. But he is a bigger bodied outside receiver which is something we don't have. Not sure I see him as a lock for the 53 though. 2 1 1 Quote
BRH Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 Took him pretty high according to his overall ranking. Seems like a possible Gabe replacement IF he develops. Quote

Milanos Milano Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 Better than Iosivas? Well I guess we wait and see Quote

NewEra Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 Nice to add another red zone threat that’s open even when he’s not. He’s limited, but he served a specific purpose. Hope he makes the team. Quote

Donuts and Doritos Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 ESPN write up says "body catcher" "focus drops" but blocks well & can threaten vertically. So he's Gabe Davis. Drops is a bad word when talking about WR 1 Quote
DCofNC Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 Nice size, guess we’ll see what he’s got in camp. Going to be tough to crack the roster this year. Quote
Nitro Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 Shorter is tall and has size. Solid back up. Red zone size. Quote
CorkScrewHill Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 From SI “Shorter originally signed with nearby Penn State as a consensus five-star recruit. He was considered the No. 1 wide receiver in the country by 247Sports at the time, the second-highest-rated member of the Nittany Lions' signing class that year behind now-Dallas Cowboys All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons.” great pedigree but did not put it together in college. Boom or bust guy Quote

OldTimer1960 Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 Anyone have any idea what teams don’t like about Antonio Johnson and JL Skinner? I think Wypler is still there because he is really only a C and most teams like multi-position OL. Quote
