Hopefully this year it leads to an increase in opportunities on the field.

Rivera named Armanti as the most improved player so far. Sounds like he's locking up a roster spot. Hope this production continues into pre and regular season play.

Rivera: Probably the guy who’s really improved the most during these OTAs and minicamp has been Armanti.

Predicting a big year for AE. May not be in Charlotte, but some team will take him in a second.

Confidence. He's a different player when he gets that swagger!

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to hear it, but didn't Rivera say the same exact thing last year? How many years do you have to be the most improved player before you finally get any significant playing time?

Yes he did. Exact same thing and look what happened.

He was player of the game I believe for their first exhibition game last year and then disappeared again in the regular season.

I read an interesting commentary somewhere that nothing would happen with AE until the final cut this year because he does a great job in practice and it gives the coaches lots of different players to throw at the defense. The person also said the pumping of AE might just be to help increase his chances of getting picked up somewhere else because the coaches obviously like him.

Not so fast...the kitty cats have about a thousand WR candidates and the boo birds are already calling for AE's head!

What is with the Gettis fanboys? One of the comments suggested that Gettis will be the #2 receiver...beating out Lafell and Hixon. For as much crap as they give AE fans, c'mon man!
