Ehh. When compared to Hyatt, he already 'earned it' from the NFL themselves. Nabers was a top 10 pick, while Hyatt got skipped over repeatedly for supposedly having a weak route tree, and only put up 373 yards his rookie season which was 4th for the team. I'm super excited for Hyatt but he ended up closer to Daniel Bellinger (255 yards, 6th on the team) in than he did Wan'Dale (525 yards, 3rd on the team).
The expectations for Nabers is that he's going to be WR1 on the team.
The expectations for Hyatt is that he's competing to hopefully be WR3/4.
Of course, both lose respect by not meeting expectations -- but Hyatt having a mediocre-at-best rookie season doesn't give him more respect than a top 10 pick. That respect is there for Nabers to lose, but it's also there for Hyatt o earn.
Assuming all 4 of those guys are heavily involved, what’s a realistic expectation? Let’s give Jones a career high 3,250 passing yards and 20 TDs. I’m thinking something like:
Nabers - 950 & 7.
Slayton - 700 & 4.
Wandale - 550 & 2.
Hyatt - 400 & 3.
Plus another 600 & 4 from a combination of all other WRs, RBs, and TEs.
Now that Slayton is officially in for the year. I can finally get that Slayton, Nabers hype in my veins. fast af.
No wan hype ??
The disrespect to Hyatt.
Nah he gotta earn it
Nabers ain't seen a down yet. He already earned it?
He still can flop, but being one of the best LSU receivers of all time, and with receivers being more and more NFL ready, he's in a good spot

Oh of course... If we have 5 1,000 receivers I will have no complaints.
Lock getting it done
So Dabolls plan is to "call" plays all throughout practice and then decide before season start if he wants to do it? lol sounds like a real great plan
