What's he's improving most on are two things: health and perception.

His hands aren't as reliable as you'd like for sure.  But just being able to be on the field has improved his contribution/productivity, and the perception of his talent as a result.

Moncrief has that same opportunity.  His is a one and done deal if he doesn't.  That's very team friendly.  If he does blow up it could be a repeat of ARob and he takes a check from someone else beginning in 2019.

Arob himself will be going though a "prove it" year his return season, proving first that the knee will hold for the entire season and second: to show he can be the guy he looked to be growing into in 2017 prior to it.

Jimmy Smith didn't become Jimmy Smith until four years after his rookie season in Dallas.  So yeah, injuries early in your career can keep you from getting the playing time and experience you need to become the player you're capable of being.

I'm sure Jaguar fans will be watching all three very closely this season.

 I don't know if I would call 10 million dollars team friendly but your point is true.

We are all hoping this WR group can contribute and make big plays. I'm highest on Cole and Westbrook. They just seem to make more plays than Moncreif and Lee. If the Jags can somehow add Gesicki, Hurst or Goedert, then you're talking about a pretty good young core of pass catchers.
