This dude could be a stud and we got zero from him last year. John Keim has said his future is a guard. Charles could be a Chico “quiet baller” selection.
Rookie tight end John Bates had a nice outstretched-hand grab. He appears to be the real deal through rookie camp and OTAs. Tight end Sammis Reyes had another easy/uncontested drop during individuals drills. This is a problem at this point in his development, especially with Bates' emergence as the TE No. 2. The one thing Reyes can hope to bring to the table this year for Washington is his athleticism and potential pass-catching ability. He's had at least one drop every time we've been allowed at practice.
Hype train Reyes should chill, but Bates real deal is great news. If Bates can be the second TE and contribute in that roll this season, watch out
