Tyrell Shavers reminds me of John Stallworth....

[Kelly to Allen]

I really think this is a possible special wr. 

 

I do remember reading he was highly recruited but looking at his highlights and it's extremely similar to Stallworth.

 

I know it's a lofty comparison but yesterday was different. 

 

Idk I'm probably wrong but I think there's definitely something there. 

 

His confidence is obvious. He's got that long lanky stride like Stallworth to get deep, but he's quick enough in short areas to create all kinds of problems for dbs. I'm excited 

 

Go bills!

He had a great game today but I wouldn’t get too hyped yet. Tampas passing defense isn’t all that good. 
 

it’s a positive and some hope though

I am watching highlights of Bradshaw and Stallworth and I'm like holy crap. He does look like Stallworth. But you're right. Too much hype right now lol

Agree with this. Bad Tampa pass D but my word I'd rather Shavers and Gabe rotating than Keon. He is a net negative to the offense.

Stallworth highlights.... You can definitely see the comp 

 

 

Praying 🙏 he can be this for us. He's tough too

For sure. Keon is a wasted spot and bad draft pick. Need to find a spot for Gabe on the roster. Is Beane ballsy enough to cut Keon for him? Probably not. 

[Kelly to Allen]

If shavers has a good game vs the Texans corners ...  Look out. Even if it's just a few big catches

He should do.

Exactly. He made the most of increased reps today and he did surprise me. I have been pretty outspoken about my thoughts on him to this point, which were not good. And while I was pleasantly surprised today, we were going up against the 24th ranked Pass Defense that notoriously plays their Safeties low, often to a detriment. 

 

All that said, he did show something though. Which is a lot more than I can say for Keon Coleman and Elijah Moore this season (outside of Coleman's game Week 1).

He's gotta be a very patient person and mentally tough after waiting for 2 years. He's absolutely earned this opportunity and I was reading more on Stallworth and how he developed for a few years. Just turned 26. 

 

I was extremely impressed before the half on the catch on the sideline before the ty Johnson td. He literally tried to jump over the guy. I was like woh, this dude has all star type confidence and real talent. 

 

matt parrino said his rookie year he was really sticking out as a rookie free agent, like insane catches, real abilities but the normal inconsistency of a rookie wr.

 

Again this is probably way over hyping , but the eye test to me says something special is there. 

 

That would be hilarious if Beane found a great wr as a rookie fa 😂

Got nothing to do with balls. It's got to do with whether or not he can grow up and develop and get better or not. There's still a chance. That chance appears to be decreasing, and not slowly. But it's still likely there. If they think it isn't, they'll cut him.

Remember the excitement about Robert Foster in 2018? Happy for Shavers but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

What does your eye test tell you on shavers? Obviously anything now is premature, but do you see anything special or high end potential?

 

What's your opinion on him?

He reminds me of Jauan Jennings-lite.

 

A good ST/fringe roster guy who can do something with some opportunities, but basically hard capped at being a 500-600 yard guy

He looked good in the pre season.  Hopefully we're not too stubborn to see if he deserves a larger role.   

[Psautcsk]

I was really excited when Shavers caught a pass and had no one within 5 yards of him. He looked like receivers who get open on a majority of teams.

[atlbillsfan1975]

He seems slow off the line, not saying he isn’t fast, just needs a little more space/time to ramp up to max speed. Let’s see how he does once teams have some tape on him. I really want him to turn into something for the WR room, this team needs it.

More like Isaiah Hodgins

Gabe can be called up a couple more times, so no need to put him on the roster yet.
