been humbled who probably is still haunted by what he wasn't able to do in sunday's game which ended the season but i think the bigger point is when the opportunities come his way he has to catch the football under duress whatever he's getting paid to make catches that are hard to make not just i'm not saying just a regular catch like you're open catch the ball
You've got to be able to go and get contested catches.
You're getting hit as you're bringing it in.
You still got to bring it in.
And especially in the red zone, because that's what they got him for.
Just think about it like this.
He was taken as the third receiver in that draft behind Marvin Harrison Jr.
and Malik Neighbors, right?
Right.
He's got less yards than both of them, and you could say, oh, well, he was drafted after him.
That makes sense.
But then you see the next receiver taken, 23rd overall, that was Brian Thomas by the Jacksonville Jaguars, who has 1,989 yards receiving compared to his 1,395.
And then if you just keep going down the list, you see Lab McConkie, who was taken in the second round at 34th overall by the Chargers.
He's got 1,938 yards and four more touchdowns with 13.
So...
At minimum, he should be outclassing the other receivers who were taken behind him in the draft.
I think for this team to maximize not only the window that Caleb Williams has as a rookie quarterback, but also Rome's window as a rookie receiver.
And he's the one talking about for the career, right?
He wants to keep adding to that total.
You just have to be able to make the plays when the plays come your way.
