Aiken Highlights
 

This is from the news feed thread.... this kid can maybe be the "Reggie" role?

I love this pick up!

With that visor, his body type, and the way he fights through defenders for the catch he reminds me a little of Anquan Boldin. Not saying he will be that good ever. I am wondering why the Ravens let him go, seems to be a good receiver.

having read through the ravens boards on the guy, they seem to think he was a good receiver that stepped up in a big way when everyone else was injured a few years back, but they weren't real happy with a comment he made about not getting play time after this last season

A hungry, capable WR. Sounds good to me!

BAL 2016 WR targets:
117 = Mike Wallace
103 = Steve Smith Jr
066 = Breshad Perriman
050 = Kamar Aiken

BAL 2015 WR targets:
127 = Kamar Aiken
073 = Steve Smith Jr
043 = Jeremy Butler

Yeah, dropping from 127 targets (7.94 per game) to 50 (3.13 per game) would indeed be a hard pill to sallow.

Competitors want to compete. Someone who felt like they "broke out" in their 2nd year of Active Roster activity would be disappointed to be dropped back to "depth" status the following season.

Hopefully, he can get a lot of targets here because we are in desperate need of better production from our WR2 and WR3 positions.

Cheers,

The criticism of Aiken was that he only made plays when he was the only guy (others were injured). When the rest of their receivers were healthy, he would disappear.
I'm not really sure what that means, but that's what I've seen Ravens fans saying on Reddit

What do fans know?!

Kamar Aiken conference call notes:

-Was told #Colts will have an open WR competition in '17
-No true opportunity in Baltimore last year

Just had conference call w new Colts WR Kamar Aiken. He's pretty salty about a lack of opps in Baltimore. Definitely has something to prove

#Colts told him it would be a wide open competition at WR and that's something Aiken says he was not afforded with the #Ravens.

Aiken also really emphasized his physicality as a major part of his game. He said he will play lots of special teams, too.
