Kliff Kingsbury is excited about Chase Edmonds. Should we tamper our excitement for Kenyan Drake? Matt Nagy does not seem excited about Mitch Trubisky... thoughts?

And what about the Colts receiver situation? Parris Campbell is being talked up by Frank Reich, but Michael Pittman Jr is apparently "building a quick rapport" with Philip Rivers (according to The Athletic). Gary Kubiak says Justin Jefferson is "exactly what we drafted," as opposed to being a different player from whom they drafted. This quote seems meaningless, but is it? The Bryan Edwards hype is REAL.
