Love the fact that leadership was able to sign this guy. I think Riddick has a chance to really help this group out and be a very dangerous player for us.

Originally posted by Houshmazode View PostGood signing. If he makes the team it's probably the last we see of Booker.
Could still see Booker making the team because Riddick is more of a WR then RB. Last couple seasons he has had almost as many rec as carries. Found it interesting that he has only had one career kick ret/ no punt ret. though. Initially thought that may have been part of his role when he signed.
Like the signing a lot though. Takes a bit of pressure off Lindsey to be the "explosive" playmaker if nothing else. Also adds some depth to the slot WR position in case Sanders misses some games.

Still a very good player but now we have dual threats between, he and Riddick.
It could only mean good things for this offense and if we all remember correctly, Julius Thomas still caught a ton of balls with Wes Welker in the field, there’s room for everyone to make plays and I expect Scangarello to get very creative with this.

I imagine Riddick wouldn’t have signed here if he wasn’t given a strong indication that he would make the team. He’s quicker than fast which makes him a viable short yardage mismatch against LBs and Safeties.
However I think Muhammad and Jackson both offer much more explosiveness. Jackson will probably be put on the PS but I don’t think Muhammad is eligible, could be wrong but if he keeps playing like he did in game one he won’t make it there anyway. Booker is a reliable pass catcher and offers more power as well as being solid in pass pro.
I’m just not sure how much Riddick brings to the table for us
