Kentron Poitier

The wide receiver corp was supremely disappointing all season. Drops have been all too familiar, and injuries and COVID-19 all hindered the development at the position.

Poitier only had four catches all season for less than 40 yards. Part of that is the run-heavy scheme, leading to Poitier using his 6’3″ 200 lbs for blocking along the edge.

He could become a starter, and with the addition of Milton, will likely get a lot more targets.

Poitier has shown that he has sure hands and his frame is big enough to be an easy bet for impact catches. He will be a mismatch nightmare and a massive red zone threat.

He has the body to catch it over the middle, something we haven’t had since Kelvin Benjamin, and will be able to take off with a new quarterback. He was in the offseason conditioning before, and he looked ready to be a college football player.

He could make another jump this season and will be a big element of the wide receiver room.
