He wanted to talk to me about how I was doing in school, what my favorite classes were. I didn't realize that he was actually a teacher! He told me to study especially hard in the classes that I loved, even though they were easier for me, because there was a good chance that when I grew up, that would be what I did for a living. Some of the best advice I ever got as a 2nd-grader. I've been banging that same drum every time it comes up for a couple of years, and Tyni does too. Davante didn't become Davante until Year 3, Donald Driver was so bad his first 3 seasons that we only kept him because he was valuable on special teams, and James Jones was nicknamed "Alligator Arms" his first 4 years.   It often takes a few years for a WR to learn how the game is played at the NFL level.According the Sports Illustrated, out of 104 WRs in 2024, Doubs had the 11th best contested catch rate. That's pretty good, one of those hidden statstics that I'm sure Gutekunst keeps track of but most fans are not aware of.</blockquote>
