Rare, Stevenson.
Zamir White and David Montgomery ranked them 1st, 2nd and 3rd in terms of who is most or least likely to be this year’s Rashad White.
I’ll go with Stevenson as probably.
I, I just think about what this offense will be like.
It’s not going to be great, but I think it’s going to be better than people expect.
And I just think about all the little things about this offense, the coordinator, the offensive line coach with his formation, the blocked receivers, the potential quarterbacks in this system.
That’s why I’m going with Stevenson too.
He has talent.
I’m not betting on the guy just because of the system here.
That’s the limit between him and Zir White, who I don’t consider to be as talented, but may have an even more favorable system just because of what he showed before.
So Stevenson for me is one and I think seeing Montgomery for me is cheating because then for me the only thing I could see as being at the top is if someone got hurt.
So I don’t want to use the injury tiebreaker.
So I think I’ll go Zamir White two and then David Montgomery three.
Not just because I think David Montgomery, that situation is set for me where he’s that 5050 guy, while the other two I think maybe become those 8020 touch guys that can actually surpass those ratings.
Well, good news.
We agree.
Uh, the number one pick for me is also Andre Stevenson from this group.
I’m okay with cheating and putting Dave Montgomery at number two, just because I think I can see ways for Zamir White to completely fail, just like, oh, he gets on the field the first four weeks and like he’s not there, while Dave Montgomery isn’t there. I will do this to you.
But overall, I think Zamir White is a good three here for me just because he showed enough at the end of last year.
The situation is right.
I think he’s fine as a promising young player to go with Miller against Rashad White, but Stevenson is a more talented winger.
There were definitely times when, from a pass-catching standpoint, he was like a poor man’s David Johnson.
Yes, I loved David Johnson in his prime, so I could see them building that whole plane out of Stevenson again, the extension and everything.
So we agreed.
