Did wadley suddenly get good at picking up the blitz when I was not paying attention. I know as Junior he was awful at picking up the blitz. Maybe he got better.
Most of Kittle's analysis seems consistent with what we have heard. But his take on Wadley being a quiet little soldier who did what he was told does not exactly fit Wadley's profile as a show off who did what he wanted, did not work hard, until he finally grew up and fell in line, although every now and then he would still regress and could not resist the urge to high step into the end zone.

I don't think it was ever said that he wasn't a hard-worker, a good teammate, and a generally delightful young man. The issue was in improving self-regulation (beneficial study habits, dietary habits, sleep habits, etc.) and attention to detail (ball-security, assignment knowledge, blocking technique, etc.). I can think of all sorts of people who I consider pleasant and personable human beings who could still stand to improve in the categories of self-regulation and attention-to-detail.
Kittle was around the guy daily for a few years right? I'll take his 2 cents over the medias. I think Wadley would be a great # 2 change of pace back. Put him in motion, in the slot you can do a lot with him. That flexibility only adds value. To me the pass blocking is so over rated. He shouldn't be in there to do that anyway. If your asking/depending on him to do that then the coach is an idiot. If you have him in the game he should be getting the ball or running a route. Not blocking.

10 NFL rookies primed to break out in Year 2
George Kittle, TE, San Francisco 49ers
The fifth-round pick caught 43 passes for 515 yards with two scores as a rookie, but I expect improvement from the former Hawkeye in Year 2. Due to his fit in Kyle Shanahan's offense as a versatile pass-catcher, Kittle could near the 60-catch mark in 2018.
With 4.5 speed, and the formation flexibility to bump into the slot, Kittle has the ability to work the middle of the field, catch the ball off play-action and serve as an inside matchup piece for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Think of Kittle as a "move" tight end/H-back who can block in the run game and also slip out of the backfield to give Garoppolo a high-percentage target underneath.

Seems a bit harsh. A show off who did what he wanted? And the evidence of this is ... A high step into the end zone every once in awhile? Perhaps the most silly rule in football. Saquon Barkley thinks so, too.
