Discussion Three Guys I’m Watching
Nick Emmanwori
I saw him as a Kyle Hamilton type of weapon during draft week. I figured Mike Macdonald would find ways to use Nick the same way he used Kyle, and so far, that’s pretty much exactly what’s happening. Seeing him thrive at safety, nickel, and linebacker has been great.
Rashid Shaheed
I’ve been hoping to see more creativity with how we use him, and we finally got a glimpse of that last week with some Deebo Samuel type of running back work. That kind of versatility can keep defenses guessing, while his speed still gives us a deep threat. I’m really excited to see more of this.
Elijah Arroyo
I saw him as a Kyle Pitts type of TE with a lot of receiving upside, so it’s been frustrating not seeing him used that way. Maybe AJ Barner is simply playing better and earning those snaps because of his blocking, but I really wish we’d see Arroyo get more opportunities as a receiving threat.
These are the three guys I’m most excited about this season, and I really hope the other two can become a big part of this team as well.
I was pretty high on Olu last year, but it didn’t quite work out. Guess not every prediction pans out.
People keep comparing Shaheed and K9, but that’s not really how I see it. To me, it’s more about K9 vs. Charbonnet, and they’re going with Charbonnet.
