With Rookie Camp getting underway Wednesday morning, it's officially time to talk about the 2026 Winnipeg Blue Bombers!

His route running isn't the best that's for sure. But I suppose that's to be expected.

Getting to the QB would be a bonus but really anyone that can disrupt and eat up roll outs and escape lanes for the QB would be welcome...consistently of course. Getting that OT to back pedal would let Ceresna and Willie eat

He's not going to have huge route tree, as I doubt we utilize him as full time receiver. He's going to be the guy that takes a guy out of the tackle box on SY because if teams cheat we will send him on a simple pass and catch route for easy yards

I hope someday he develops into a 5th receiver role as that would give us an elite blocker on all running plays too

I love that dante uses his frame to its fullest and goes up to high point balls. Even with out a massive vert he’s gonna be soo tough to cover.

I think he might flex or motion out for some routes. Could have him cross the formation into a slot waggle forcing a wil or small db to switch to him.

He looks a lot more athletic than I thought he would. Very interesting player to watch over TC.

FWIW every rep they showed in that video was against a Rifles player and he had zero separation on all of them. On one the Rifles LB switched onto him late and caught him.

Guess if you're hoping the other team is in man and they send the WIL to follow him out there instead of just adjusting to a corner he'll give that. Every single player on a CFL defense will be more athletic than him other than maybe a nose tackle. Otherwise going to be a little rope and dope if his blocking is up to snuff to hope teams get locked on run and he can leak out and make use of the physicality to get some YAC. Doesn't look like he's going to get away from anyone.

White jersey so it should be a receiver - Dorian Singer

Hopefully. They only have Taylor down as 17, Singer not even on the roster but listed as 72 in Tait's article.

Are you wanting him to share what his thoughts are on the team, before day 1 of rookie camp ends?

That MOS poker face is in midseason form.
