Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was at 60% this time last year. Now, he feels 100% for the first time in his Patriots tenure.

Reminds me of Fred “best shape of his life” Taylor.

Choose no more than two:

• in the best shape of his career
• the energy at camp feels different this year
• he put on 10 pounds of muscle in the offseason
• this player is poised for a breakout year
• high ceiling / tremendous upside
• their new coordinator is a better fit for what they want to do
• the players are going to benefit because it’s year two in this coordinators system
• the new position coach is going to be better at developing players through more effective drills
• ETA (cannot believe I forgot) - this is the first time since my rookie year I’ve been completely healthy.

You nailed it. These are the lines we hear every year about a myriad of players; taken directly out of the handbook for coachspeak!

I will add a couple . . .

• He is unguardable in practice
• He looks like he is shot out of a cannon

• He is unguardable in practice
• He looks like he is shot out of a cannon

• he’s hungry to prove his detractors wrong
• he’s working hard to show the fans why it was smart to bring him in
• never seen him focused like this.

It goes on and on. Every year.
