00:00Could Kalief Raymond play a bigger role in this offense than people expected initially?
00:06Well, he's going to have a significant role, I think, if you just look at what they did a year
00:11ago.
00:12We know DJ Moore's gone, but so is Olomide Zaccheaus, who had 580 snaps last year.
00:22Okay, so that's just over 50% of the snaps that he was on the field as that third wide
00:28receiver.
00:30And so you have to feel like someone's got to take him, and he's got the history with Ben Jansen
00:42from Detroit, the trust level.
00:45And while I would imagine they're very interested in bringing along Zivion Thomas, the rookie third-round pick,
00:55you do that incrementally as he earns it, as he shows you that he can get some of that trust.
01:04I think Raymond's going to be out there right away.
01:07Now, I don't know what production looks like for him in terms of fantasy statistics,
01:14but, yeah, I think the role will be certainly significant.
01:18And also take a look at the fact that they paid him about double, actually probably a little bit more
01:24than twice as much,
01:26as O.Z. got last season.
01:28So you've doubled the pay for a guy that the coach has plenty of history with in Detroit.
01:37That tells me they've got an awful lot of ideas about how to use him on the field during the
01:44season.
