WR Shipley considered 'best newcomer' Thu Jun 17, 07:32 PM
Geoff Hobson, from Bengals.com, notes if the camp had a Best Newcomer it was probably rookie wide receiver Jordan Shipley, the third-round draft pick from Texas. He had a particularly productive day Thursday, as did the passing game in what seemed to be its most synced up performance of the week. The coaches have talked about Shipley's naturalness in the slot and WR coach Mike Sheppard is impressed with his after-hours approach. "He's got plenty of tape on T.J. (Houshmandzadeh) and Wes Welker and the other good slot players in the league and he'll watch it," Sheppard said. "He's the guy walking into my office about three hours after practice and says, 'What are you doing?' and I say, 'I'm waiting for you.' 'Good, can we watch practice?' "
Our view: Jordan Shipley is one of our favorite rookie receivers this year. He was a catching machine for the Texas Longhorns, and was arguable the most dangerous possession receiver in all of college football. Shipley will catch everything thrown at him, and has the elusiveness to pick up plenty of yards after the catch. He's competing with veteran Bubba Caldwell to be the Bengals slot receiver this year.
