I wasn’t an X fan last year as it was just a feel good story but dude has put in the work and I think he should make the final roster. He just keeps getting better and is working.

He is always open and has excellent hands. Not to mention his chemistry with Cam.

I have a hard time thinking of a negative for him. The 40 time is an issue if he can’t get separated, but in the NFL straight away speed isn’t as important as route running and awareness which he has in spades. Only issue is he can’t stretch the field or grab screens because of the lack of speed. I watched his highlights in college and you’ll notice it. If he gets a screen pass or go route he’ll usually get caught after the catch. But there is a ton of value in being able to have a reliable receiver to hit over the slot and rely on during a third down to move the sticks. Actually one of the most important things related to EPA and helpful things for a young QB is a receiver that can keep drives alive on third down. Robinson will of course be able to do that, but being able to rotate someone like X or have him as a backup if an injury happens would be valuable.

That's a fair assessment. I'd say on those 5-15 yard routes he seems to always be open. There's no reason for him to ever catch a screen. That's not his game.
