I thought he got too much hate from that dropped touchdown pass earlier in the year. But he's really stepped up and has become a reliable receiver. I didn't realize he and Tyler played on the same College team for one year. There's definitely a chemistry going on there.

Love him. This is the kind of season he needed to be worth his contract.
I was a little peeved at him early in the season with the drops, but he settled in and has been a solid option at receiver
He’s a good player and has a good connection with Shough. I wouldn’t fault them for not passing up a good one in the draft though.
I was fighting for his life all season and feel vindicated lmao
He was dropping a lot of passes because he couldn’t hold on to a catch through contact. It wasn’t unique to him and was an issue for most of our pass catchers..and they were asked to do that a lot. I don’t necessarily think he’s gotten better at this particular thing…
But Shough has made that a non issue because he’s getting the balls to receivers on time and in stride so they don’t have to make the catch while defenders smash into them every time.
He’s in the bottom half of starting tight ends and he has the 8th highest tight end cap hit next year. Our incentives are either to make him take a pay cut or cut him.
He’s become much more consistent. If he can continue this consistency, he will be worthy of his contract and a top 10 TE
I think he’s fine as a possession receiver but he’s not a reliable downfield threat. Not our biggest need by a long shot. I would go WR, G, C, DL, RB and LB before TE as far as needs go.
He is stepping up and would love to see him continue to maintain this level of play
He’s our number Juwan TE
The kind of in season turn around we wanted Ruiz to have!
Not only did they both play at Oregon, but they were actually roommates too.
Improved so much this season
He needs a full season of consistent play to be worth the cost. He has a good ceiling but his floor is way to low, so needs to raise it and prove it.
Solid player. Nothing too flashy but he’s a good TE. Another target for the opposing team to worry about
He’s always had the ability, but now he’s putting it together and on display during games.
I love JUWANNA MANNNNN!
Im still skeptical. A few games doesn’t undo everything he did but if he keeps playing like this, I’ll drop it with him. No pun
He’s really stepped up the second half of the season, especially working with Shough.
until tyler i thought he was mid at best
good for a TD or two, but bi on reliable enough between the 20’s
with the college connection they have it seems he is more confident in catching.
maybe our new QB is just that much better than rattler and carr. (not that the bar is very high)
I used to have some ninja turtle action figures with arms that looked like his here.
He has a QB now that throws the ball the way he likes seemingly. Lot of trust between him and Shough developing at the right time for next season. How quickly it went from 3rd and long to 3rd and Juwann
