Player to watch in camp: Wide receiver Sammie Coates. My fascination with Coates began at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, back in 2015. In pads, he has the build of a young Terrell Owens minus an inch or two -- but it was readily apparent how much work was going to be required to turn him into something similar. Coates has been pegged as a Martavis Bryant replacement, but in reality the offense is set on auto pilot and can move on with or without him thanks to Markus Wheaton and Darrius Heyward-Bey. Coates started to reach out and grab opportunities during the playoffs last year, though, and flashed during a loss to the Denver Broncos. Getting him in the open field would be downright destructive to defenses, but that would require a light going on and staying on this August.
