I do think that he's probably better in short and intermediate routes than the Chiefs have given him credit for.

He's worked at that.

I mean, you can continue to see that.

He's not perfect.

I mean, he's had some drops here and there in these two workouts that we've seen.

He's also had some really good catches, and he's shown some diversity in his route work, and I like that, but I think it's going to just depend on how they end up working these roles out.

If

If they end up putting Rice in the slot, which I still think is his best place to line up, and you make Worthy the Z and Thornton is your X, maybe Cyrus Allen works in behind everybody else and can fill in at a couple of spots at least.

I think that's actually a pretty good group of four.

I don't think that's a problem.

It's just that you've got to commit to it.

And, I mean, hey, it's highly possible maybe a guy like Cyrus Allen comes along and it's usually, hey, we've got to get this guy in the lineup.

And Tyquan Thornton isn't getting the odd man out.

We'll see.

But I think he can be more than just a deep ball threat.

He can do some other things.

And I almost think that if you're going to use him as a deep ball threat, you've got to be willing to use him in some other areas as well because otherwise I just don't think the teams are going to respect him.

I mean, backing up Rasheed for sure.

I can definitely see that.

I've been really impressed with Cyrus Allen.
