In another thread I predicted that Njoku and Delpit would have great years.
Njoku is a mismatch against linebackers. If he was used like Kelce. He would have those numbers.
He should dominate the mid field in all routes especially seam routes. His length and jumping ability has been under used.
He should have serious redzone numbers. In the back of the endzone and on crossing routes.
It is all about ball placement. The quarterback on a shallow cross throws it low and away. TE screens with body. Not defensible.
Along the back of the endzone throw the jump ball. The chief is 6'4" and can jump. No db is getting that ball if thrown correctly.
I tend to agree, with an asterisk.
It definitely goes deeper than "used like Kelce". Kelce is on a different level when it comes to setting up his defender, finding the soft spot, and being in tune with his QB when there is any interruption to the scripted play.
