The GIF below is an example of my point, Cole quickly gets open against one of the better CB's in football in Stephon Gilmore, but the ball isn't thrown his way. He was playing at an unbelievable level at the end of the year for an un-drafted guy and deserved more targets,

For that now somewhat famous gif, track #30 on the Defense. where do you think he is at the time the pass is thrown?

It looks like he would've been in the middle of the field, with a chance to defend the pass to Cole if it was thrown his way. My point isn't so much about Blake's decision to not throw the ball to Cole here, it's more about Cole's ability to quickly get open against one of the better CB's in football, creating yards of separation in the process. My assumption is if I were to watch the All-22, this wouldn't be an isolated event with Keelan Cole, he's shown the ability to get open and make tough catches in contested situations. He should've been fed more, especially against the Patriots who ran a ton of man to man concepts. Im of the opinion that he was better than any of the receivers on this roster last year.
