What has happened to Chris Givens?
He admitted earlier this year that the success of his rookie season "went to his head" and he didn't apply himself appropriately in the offseason for year two. But in that same piece, he said he worked harder this past offseason to prepare for this year.
By all accounts; his reps have diminished and he's moved down the depth chart. From training camp reports and as revealed in our first preseason game.
With his speed, you would think he'd still be able to bust open a play or two like he did in 2012. Where did that go?
Is this a case of lost confidence?
Has he lost a step?
Have teams just figured out how to play him?
Is he stubborn and failing in some fashion of honing his craft, such as beating the jam and/or going across the middle?
I truly believe he could be in danger of losing his roster spot... Or at the very least, the writing is on the wall he is in trouble.
Thoughts?
