Does Jamal Agnew have a legit shot at making the team as a WR ?

Early in the off season it was announced that Jamal Agnew (CB/KR) was going to move over to the other side of the ball and play WR. There is no question when he has the ball in his hands that he is electric. He has playmaking ability no doubt. But as we have seen several times in the NFL it is more than catching a ball and running with it. It takes time to get the nuances of running routes, blocking schemes and a bevy of other items that will determine if you make an NFL roster or not.

The Lions have a fairly decent WR corps, I would even say it may be the strongest unit of the team with Marvin Jones Jr, Kenny Golladay and Danny Amendola as the top 3. It looks like Quintez Cepeheus the 5th round draft pick this year has a spot locked up AND it appears Jamal Agnew is looking at the #5 WR spot. This would be a very nice accomplishment in just 1 off-season

.

If he makes the team and is as productive as a 5th WR can be, I will give credit to the coaching staff and the front office for recognizing his potential at WR. This may explain the other 5th round pick of Jason Huntley a little better. The Rookie might see some time as a KR/PR this year allowing Agnew to focus on WR.
