I just watched the highlights. Like four slants and the others were free releases where he sat down in zones. He had that one nice catch.
I'm not in on this guy. Only in fantasy does this guy seem really relevant. Tutu Atwell had a monster day, too. I'm not buying that.
Nacua's athletic testing is so subpar that you'd win a golf tournament with how below par it is.
Watch me be totally wrong. McVay sure will force feed a guy and make him relevant, so there's also that.
I remember nearly identical comments about Anquan Boldin after his week 1.
Not all players do well on the athletic testing stuff, but that doesn't always mean they won't ball out in the league.
Looked up Boldin's combine scores and he is a great comp. Really similar.
