They can't be serious with this can they?
They've got Hawkins, who had 200 yards last year, is 28 and goes 5'7", 175. Never played a full season and has started two games in his career.
They've got Austin, who had 244 yards last year and has an injury history that reads like war and peace, and seems to have lost about 4 steps. Has started 16 games once in an 8 year career.
Those are the starters.
Then they can bring in Travis Benjamin, who had 5 catches last year and weighs 170 pounds. Then rookie Taylor Gabriel who astonishingly weighs less than Benjamin. Finally Laron Byrd, an UDFA who has been waived 3 times in two years, has one career catch and no experience in the scheme.
That's it.
This is the worst group of receivers I can ever remember seeing. Am I missing something here? In the modern NFL, how do they start the season like this? In the wildly unlikely event that Austin gets hurt (please find the sarcasm here), they are now picking from three guys under 175 pounds every down?
