So I'm reading about all this OTA buzz around this kid who's supposedly making all kinds of highlight catches and shit. Apparently he has all the talent in the world but it was going to waste because he's a dope fiend.
So now he's supposedly our TE1, and I guess he's been clean for a year.
All I can say is this, as a recovering alcoholic myself: We BETTER be working our TE2 hard behind him (I assume that's Moreau), splitting reps and making sure they're getting equal attention.
Waller could easily come into training camp and piss hot. He could piss hot at any time. This small amount of time clean for a kid that age who has money is NOTHING. He barely knows his ass from a hole in the ground at this point.
And if he was already at the point where he got suspended for an entire season, he's already in DEEP SHIT. So this kid's very high risk.
I would seriously do my best to train someone up, push Moreau so he could take away that TE1 spot. You DON'T want to be relying on a 20-something dope fiend.
And we should seriously consider keeping 4 TEs. We need to be scouring the cuts and finding someone good to add to Waller/Moreau/Wilson.
