...into Tyreek Hill? Reid uses him well.

Is it Austin or coaching/scheme/play calling?

Watch Austin and watch Hill. Hill is a natural receiver, Austin isn't.

With Austin his best bet is always that multiple weapon/combined yards role. He's dangerous in that role--run, catch, be a decoy.

There are some things you would expect from a true receiver you will just never get with Austin, but that's okay as long as you don't try to act like he's a pure receiver.

No one is going to turn him into Tyreek Hill. The trick is to not bother...use him the way he IS best used (see 2015).

If he were with the Chiefs, Reid would use him the way I describe too. He doesn't have the tool set a pure receiver does.

..

Yep, I agree. I've always felt that TA is more of a Wing Back or Scat Back.
