in hindsight with the practice squad rules it's weird that he wasn't brought in then and asked to do all the stuff we asked him to do (regarding conditioning etc.) under the purview of our coaching staff and training staff - and it would have given him the opportunity to train with our guys all year, to get reps with lamar during the offseason, to learn the playbook etc. etc.
but also hard to imagine it would have made a real impact - he's a good route-runner but we saw that defenders were just sitting on all the underneath stuff because they weren't threatened over the top by him - maybe that's because we didn't ask him to get vertical but either way defenders weren't ever in doubt about it
