Unclear. But it's very obvious that he is a smooth and natural pass-catcher.

That's far from obvious.

Even going back to his college tape, I wouldn't say Mckinnon looks natural nor advanced at any position.

For comparison sake look at Deebo run most of the same drills. He looks way more explosive and sudden.

No one is saying he's transcendent, he is a quality pass-catching RB

He looks fine too me.
Of all the Niner offensive players, I just haven't seen enough of him to have any real opinion. All I really have to go on are his pre Niner highlights.

He's either going to sink or swim - hope that knee holds up.

Hurd's more of a mystery because he has one pre season game to go on. That's why I didn't include him since he's barely even an NFL player at this point.
Not 1 dollar returned.

Amen brother!
I'm hoping for the best with McK but preparing for a letdown just in case lol.

I just dont know where this whole thing came from that he is some amazing pass catching or duel threat running back. He has averaged 246 receiving yards a year for his career. For reference, that would have made him 34th in the NFL in 2019.

We all hope JM will do SOMEthing for us in 2020. But the amount people gas him up in this thread is just crazy.

His last yr in Minn he had like 420 receiving yards & avg 8.3 ypr...FWIW Alvin Kamara had like 530 yards and avg 6.6 YPR this past yr. I think most would call him a quality receiving RB.

Last yr our two top RBs Coleman/Mostert each had 180 receiving yards. Without question he adds another element to this offense that the other RBs don't have.

It already is a letdown

LOL. Alvin Kamara averages 689 receiving yards a season. Sorry, but McKinnon had one season where he had a very good season catching the ball. And the rest of his career he has been very underwhelming. And no one can say with any certainty that he is anything close to what he was after missing 2 seasons.
