2017 Review

Here is the coolest GIF I could find of Kalen.

Why he will progress

He’s a rookie learning the nuances of professional football for the first time. He has size, speed, strength, production, and 3rd down capability. Potential is high, but opportunity behind Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore may prove to be difficult by the same token.

Why he will regress

Since there’s no professional barometer at this point, this is N/A.

Chances of making the 53-man roster

He was just drafted in the 4th round. 100% (barring catastrophic injury or significant legal issue...I’m sorry I keep laying out contingencies like this but it’s important to be as transparent as possible...I knocked on wood, OK?!?! It’s all good.)
