Not impossible, but I think it has to start with him beating out Dobson in training camp. He did it last year, but a big part of that was Dobson’s injuries opening the door. There should be a roster spot for one of the two.
If he makes the team, then I think it’s probably going to take a LaFell injury for him to get “meaningful snaps”. Last year he played just 11 percent of the snaps, and most of those were him just running down the field trying to take the top off the defense. Of course, the touchdown catch against the Bills was a thing of beauty.
LaFell led all receivers with 81.6 percent of the snaps. And with so many talented tight ends, I think we’re more likely to see 12 and 13 personnel than we are four wide receiver sets this year. So it will probably take an injury to LaFell and even then it might be more the Edelman/Amendola show primarily.
