So, Looking at the depth chart, we can start with the receivers since that's the biggest impact that we just saw.
So this entire offseason, Nick Cayley and, you know, D'Amico Ryans, they've been somewhat talking up their tight end room.
And then even the reporters, the beat writers have been talking up the tight end room.
Cade Stover and Brevin Jordan were injured last year at some point, and then they added a couple more guys, and there's been a lot of chatter about Foster Moreau being a really good blocker for them.
um so what i think is going to end up transpiring is they were going to lean into 12 and 13 personnel two tight ends or three tight ends with one receiver or two receivers on the field and i think they're going to do that a lot more this year so because they have less receiving depth now without um you know without uh jayden higgins on the team Now we're talking about, hey, who is going to step into that role? Well, let's put more tight ends on the field instead.
He was on the team a couple of years ago, probably like, I think it was like four years ago.
So you could easily see something like that happen where there's just like some relationship in play there.
DeAndre Hopkins, while he's doing assistant coach work right now, he is also still not retired, has openly said that he'd be open to playing.
So, you know, history with the team and the organization, there could always be a chance at that.
And I think that the talent level of what they have now, like I like Jalen Noel, but the team has continually talked about him as a slot receiver.
