1. He plays to his potential in a new system and a new opportunity.
2. He gets a chance to be in a committee and earn more playing time
3. He's slow to emerge and remains a low-snap depth chart option with a maybe a situational role.
4. He's not the new staff's "guy" and written off regardless

Matt Waldman’s RSP shares its pre-NFL Draft scouting report on Vikings star receiver Justin Jefferson, a player Matt recommended as a relative bargain to Jerry Jeudy and CeeDee Lamb who could…
Jefferson is one of my favorite players in this draft ...He’s as economical a storyteller with his routes as there is in this draft class. This is an excellent trait...This is a smooth receiver with enough ruggedness to his game to play multiple roles and play them well.

The Rookie Scouting Portfolio (RSP)Pre-NFL Draft Scouting Report of Jets QB Zach Wilson: Matt Waldman’s RSP Sample
Matt Waldman’s RSP shares his sample scouting report of New York Jets QB Zach Wilson, the No.1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, but Waldman’s 6th-ranked passer on his board with a grade on…
"I can’t give you an elevator pitch in favor of Wilson as a 1st- or 2nd-round selection on the sole basis of his talent relative to his colleagues. The idea that he’s even in the same ballpark as Patrick Mahomes is as preposterous as the idea two years ago as it was for Drew Lock "

"...might be the best pocket passer in this draft. Isn’t that an ironic statement considering that he’s also the best runner at the position? ... a rare player with a rare combination of skills. If he gets the opportunity he deserves, he has the talent to become an NFL superstar."

"...caliber of arm and accuracy that allows him to make pinpoint throws without the constant need of fundamentally sound footwork. A former shortstop and son of a major league baseball player, Mahomes throws the football with the accuracy, velocity, and acrobatics of an infielder."

( If Purdy can improve the velocity he needs for specific throws, especially in the vertical game, he could develop into a capable starter if he lands in a situation where the opportunity becomes available for him to compete for playing time."
