A blocker. That's what Kyle likes big WR'S for.

To be fair the injury history didn't start until after the draft.

I also agree with the "Injury* part.

Not better than Sanu (when not injured) at all.

The article I read said something about the Dolphins (I think) picking off one of PS players. That made room for this guy.

They also released Austin Watkins from the PS.

He's probably better than Sanu, but he needs to be consistent, that's why he's been moving from team to team.

Thats not true. He was frequently dinged up in college, even if he didn't miss a ton of games. He switched from RB to WR because he was concerned about injuries. He missed the Combine and much of the offseason process prior to the draft due to a knee injury.

I thought he ran at the Combine. Wasn't his 4.7 40 a big deal here in 2015?

I don't think any GM or HC would think that.

he was decent for the panthers. I remember he had a good rapport with Cam for a bit when Kelvin Benjamin was dealing with weight issues....I thought funchess was a nice suprise considering most experts (I can't remember exactly) I thought said they didn't think he translated to the NFL because he was too slow.

Let's see what he can do.

Not better than Sanu? I don't think so, Sanu is also inconsistent, but he's faster than Funchess.

Maybe they are eyeing him for a move tight end . Simular to what Mathews was trying to accomplish.
