His first route cut was AMAZING, his second route cut he was CLEARLY in way too much pain, and didn't look like he should be on the field.

People need to stop comparing Adams 2nd year to anyone that's healthy...

Supposedly Wick was 4th in the entire NFL at getting separation last year ... kid, like Adams, has quick cuts and can get open.

As we all know, Wicks issue is that he drops it way too much after he gets open.

Good point, I forgot about the ankle. Still, I'm cautiously optimistic on Wicks. Hope it comes together for him this season.
