Plenty of gym rats come and go, can he play? He's got a lot to learn.
Exactly. Quit his high school team after a week. Maybe he has matured and toughened up since then but not going to be surprised if he’s cut pretty quickly.

It seems like Reyes has good work ethics, based on what this article (https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/football-team/sammis-reyes-img-coach-details-how-washington-tight-end-prepped-nfl) explained. So far, we have been seeing good things but Reyes still have ways to go as he is entirely new to football.. Also, as we all already know from the past, majority of our off-season and training camp crushes always disappear once season starts.

Watched an interview with Julie D. He sounds like a guy who will put the work in (physical and studying) and won't let himself fail.
I think he's going to work out. There will be a learning curve but I think he'll get it. Since we have Thomas as the starter and won't rely on him picking it up immediately to be the starter, we can have some more patience with him.
I'm excited to see him on the field.
He's also very humble and grounded. Doesn't care about a house for himself, just wants to take care of his parents and be a role model for Chilean kids who have never had a pro athlete to look up to (in football or basketball).
Check out that interview.

It's just amazing that this kid is so off the charts athletic, that he had multiple NFL teams wanting him, and he has ZERO experience playing the game.
If he can develop the mental toughness that this game requires -- dealing with the drudgery of summertime camps; getting smacked around in the trenches when he is required to block a behemoth in front of him; getting dinged up and playing through the pain -- he could be a huge surprise.
I still can't get over the fact that he is THE most athletic TE ... ever measured.
I hope he works out. It would be an awesome story, and he could be special.

He definitely knows his way around the gym, but he won't get far if he doesn't have that same work ethic for studying. Would make for an amazing story if he does make it though.

Gibson already took over the show so that doesn't matter, although it sucks that we wasted a 4th round pick.
Eh who cares, it was worth the gamble in the 4th
