Mimms getting hurt has set them back. Should have added another WR in the draft I thought but you really couldn't predict this. Anyway maybe they get lucky and Cager can step up. This guy has some tools and who knows? Hope he gets a legit shot and makes the most of it.
I read on the 2nd or 3rd day of camp that Cager couldn't catch a cold on a NYC subway. That was surprising to me because his scouting report said he had good strong hands, and rarely dropped anything. Glad to see that he put perhaps the early jitters behind him.
STRENGTHS: Big-bodied target with elite arm length…hand strength to secure outside frame and drops were rare (only one drop in 2019)…provides a large strike zone for his quarterback and wins jump-balls…natural body control to excel on back shoulder throws…locates and tracks well downfield…boxes out without extending his arms to push off…understands route depth and timing, making him a quarterback’s best friend…production improved each season and quickly emerged as Georgia’s top target in 2019 when he was healthy.
WEAKNESSES: Average speed player…dull footwork at the top of routes and lacks explosiveness in his movements, creating efficiency issues at the stem…non-threatening YAC weapon, lacking the elusive traits or twitch to make defenders miss…comes off the line of scrimmage too tall with a bad habit of prematurely revealing his intentions…should be a better run blocker for a player his size…durability is a red flag: injured his left ankle during practice (November 2019) and required surgery, ending his senior season; missed three games (and parts of others) due to a separated shoulder and bruised ribs (October 2019); suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee (July 2016), missing the season
