Which TE Steps into Biggest Pass Catching Role?

I really liked what I saw out of Shaheen today. He showed some nice hands, and good catch radius. Much like Cohen, I think that given a little space, Shaheen can be a difference maker. After watching the game today, to Ryan Pace's credit, they are amassing some nice young players.

I was going to say the same thing. On one of his catches, I took note of the route on the replay. Square and well done. I'm surprised he's contributing this early. If he could loose a few pounds, focus on his speed and get a tick faster, he looks like he could really be something. But as it is, he moves well enough and has the size to body out defenders.

I think Shaheen can be the GOODS.. Good route..a rook learning..decent blocker..
Trubisky
Cohen
Shaheen

and to second year
Howard..
Now get us stable and UNINJURED WRs..
Firm up the line..

Draft ,,

I was very impressed with the catch down the middle in the first quarter where he bullied the defender. That was a solid.

Anyone else wonder after watching Shaheen last few weeks if he could've been doing this all year?

No, not really. For whatever reason, he couldn't keep his feet under him after a catch early on. Sort of like how Bellamy used to jump to catch every ball, regardless of whether or not he actually needed to.

Yeah, I think his adjustment period was pretty steep. I'm glad he's getting some experience now though. He looks like he could have a big year next season if he had a good offseason of training.

Much like Jordan Howard last season, it only took 2 injuries for Shaheen to see the field.

I think I'd like to see this kid trim down to about 260 and see if it unlocks even more speed/quickness. I liked what I saw from him yesterday.

So you want him to switch to the naked burrito bowls?
