[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 869935"] You know, I kinda like Lazard. What he lacks in speed and quickness he is able to compensate to a degree with size, strength and competitiveness. He runs some good routes though you'll never call him an ankle breaker, too much of a long strider but without the last gear. Rodgers liked him from training camp, and more recently said something to the affect of, "he plays with a level of confidence he has no right to," probably a reference to UDFA and second year off the practice squad status. He didn't play offense in the first 4 games, 17 snaps in week 5, no targets until week 6 when Adams went out. From then on it was less Kumurow and more Lazard. His season total offensive snap count was 43% with 35 catches, 477 yards, 3 TD. He wasn't much more than a rookie, getting his first offensive work other than one snap in 2018. There are a fair number of Day 1 and 2 picks who are not that productive as rookies as they get their feet wet. Projecting out his stats last year over 16 games on 63% snap count you get 51 catches, 694 yards, 4 TDs. The numbers that stand out in particular are the 67.3% catch percentage with 13.6 yards per catch, for a very good 9.2 yards per target. OK, small sample size, possible "triumph of the uncluttered mind" factor, tape study could reveals to DBs some tells. Even if this is just as good as it gets, he's a good guy to have around as a #4 and he's not going kill you filling in for some games. And if a rookie draftee plays like many do, his year of experience might get him more snaps than one might think. Then, there's the question of whether there is some progression in year 2. I would not totally discount this guy as some UDFA place holder. [/QUOTE]
