What if we lined up Keller at WR more often?

    Doesn't NE do this? By having two TE sets? Hernandez & Gronk? I just have my doubts putting him in a WR position...he's really not that quick and putting him in a spot where he'd have to run deep would be ridiculous. In the slot might not be a bad move though.

    LOL. I don't see Keller as creating mismatches out wide. At 6'2", you can't post him up like Graham (6'7"), Rudolph (6'6"), and Gronk (6'6") in hopes of getting a shorter safety or CB on him. He's also clearly lost a step - or two - and isn't the physical specimen he once was, so I don't see him as a guy who can stretch the field with his speed like a Hernandez, VDavis, or even Jared Cook.

    u cannot split keller out - he would draw CB/S coverage everytime. u could slot him and the jets have done that but to clear out the passing lanes u need a 3/4 receiver set.

    do u trust our OL to block for that?
