Shenault had no drop issues in 2020. 
Then had a major issue in 2021.

The difference between the two seasons is pass velocity. 

He went from Minshew lobs to Lawrence bullets. 
He could make the adjustment this offseason. 
Worth a try.

Very good assessment. If we keep him through camp, I'd make him stand in front of a Jugs machine with the velocity turned all the way up and do nothing but catch footballs. When he is able to consistently hold onto 95% of 200 passes, he can resume practice with the rest of the team. Until then he does nothing but work on his hands.

Agreed, but I don't think anyone is gonna part with anything for Manhertz and Farrell. You'd almost certainly have to cut them outright.
