A: That is as well low.

Jefferson solidified his status as a Top 3 large receiver in 2021, his sophomore year. Individuals could not fairly anoint him as these kinds of soon after his rookie seasons for the reason that, in principle, he could’ve been a a single-strike-wonder.

Alas, he was not.

Jefferson need to be #3 in any WR rankings guiding Davante Adams and Cooper Kupp. And that would be on the “low” stop — the bottom floor.

Q: K.J. Osborn mentioned on Jim Rome’s demonstrate right now that he seems forward to another significant leap in his 3rd period? What would the figures glimpse like if that transpired?

A: In fact, his purpose must be to enhance.

In 2021, out of nowhere, Osborn registered 655 acquiring yards and seven touchdowns. So, a fair leap this time would be 800-900 obtaining yards and eight or so touchdowns.

He’ll want targets within Kevin O’Connell’s offense, which, in principle, could be a compact issue. Why? Properly, Irv Smith Jr. is back again following missing a year owing to harm. Osborn received excess consideration in Minnesota’s 2021 offense since Smith Jr. was gone.

Q: If Colin Kaepernick signals with the Las Vegas Raiders, can he definitely make a comeback at age 34?

A: He can definitely make a comeback for one particular motive. He’ll be questioned to be a QB2 or QB3. He will not participate in. If signed in Las Vegas, he’ll combat for a backup task with Nick Mullens and Jarrett Stidham.

Should really he earn that battle — a longshot for a soon-to-be 35-yr-outdated — Kaepernick will basically maintain a clipboard at the rear of Derek Carr.

Kaepernick will not be signed by any workforce for QB1 duty, so earning a comeback as a QB2 or QB3 is extra than achievable.
