They're still going to be looking for their long-term answer.

He is intriguing.

He was a winner at Ohio State.

You know he's going to be a guy who's

you know, steely because he already went through a ton of adversity as a college player.

He's got a little bit of mobility, which I think McCarthy likes.

So, you know, there's some stuff to like there, but I, you know, I think he's probably a bit of a project at this point as well.

Well, you see how he interacts with coaches, how he learns, um,

how he picks up things, his work with teammates.

You know, he was lauded for that.

You know, he was a guy who, hey, you know, DK Metcalf was coming back from the suspended list.

You know, Will Howard was the one on an off day who was throwing him passes.

So he's one of these guys who just does everything right.

He wants to be good, and I think they've taken notice of that.

Now, we don't even have preseason games to judge him by, but, you know, based on him being in that building for, you know, 10 hours a day for,

for eight months now, they have a pretty strong feeling that there's some potential there to work with.

Yeah, you're absolutely right.

Caleb Johnson never recovered from that special teams gaffe.

Um, you know, I would make an argument that there really wasn't a way for him to get into the lineup.

Cause they got a pretty strong one, two punch there with Jalen Warren and Kenny Gainwell.
