Too small From China Nick Allegretti Jersey , too slow. Christian Kirk is well aware of what critics said to him going into this year's NFL draft.They're right in front of him every day as he leaves home."I have a blackboard at my house that has it all written up," he said. "It's all right where I leave for the door every day."He hasn't forgotten that five receivers were drafted ahead of him."I thought I was the best and I'm out to prove that," Kirk said.He is off to a good start on a not-so-good team. Halfway through the season, his 31 catches and 410 yards receiving rank second among NFL rookie wide receivers behind only Atlanta's Calvin Ridley (33 catches, 463 yards). And Kirk has done it on a team that ranks last in the NFL in offense and next-to-last in passing offense."This guy is the ultimate pro," coach Steve Wilks said. "You look at rookies coming in really trying to find their way. This guy works hard each and every day, trying to take care of his body, trying to prep himself. I think, really, the opportunities that he has been getting, he's taking advantage of them, meaning the throws, the catches. He's finishing those plays, which is great."In his previous game Long Sleeve Nick Allegretti Jersey , a week ago Sunday, Kirk broke free in the back of the end zone and caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from fellow rookie Josh Rosen with 34 seconds to play, the winning score in an 18-15 victory over San Francisco.The Cardinals (2-6), who play at Kansas City (8-1) on Sunday, had last weekend off."I went back this week and actually watched the Washington game (the season opener)," Kirk said, "just seeing where I was at then until now. It's night and day. So I feel like every week I'm progressing and I still want to do that throughout the season."Kirk has lots of hometown support. He grew up in suburban Phoenix before choosing Texas A&M over Arizona State in high school.He has developed a close relationship with Rosen, who took over as starting quarterback in Week 4."I love Christian," Rosen said after Wednesday's practice. "We're on the same page about everything. We hang out off the field. Football's a very social game, and I think sometimes we can pick each other up and get each other going whenever we might be sputtering a little bit. Football's a game of relationships, so it's good to have a strong one."Kirk, after a standout career at Texas A&M, was drafted by Arizona in the second round, the 47th player chosen overall. He stands 5-foot-11 and weighs 200 pounds and there were concerns about that and his speed among pro scouts.Not for the Cardinals though Nick Allegretti Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , Wilks said."Not at all," he said. "It may have been a concern with other teams, but not with us. We felt like he had speed. I know that was a question: 'He's just a slot receiver.' (But) he's shown he can take the top off."Rosen, who has his own thoughts about quarterbacks drafted ahead of him, said people sometimes look for the wrong things when evaluating a player."I think sometimes you just have to turn on tape and watch guys play," he said. "(Kansas City's) Tyreek Hill on the other side is one of the best receivers in football right now, and he's tiny. He's unbelievable. I think they're different kinds of receivers, but just in the sense that I think a lot of guys look at the wrong things. If you turn on Christian's tape from college, he's ripping people up and down the field." The news that Tyreek Hill faces allegations of battery against his child is both shocking and concerning, especially if the child ended up with a broken arm caused by Hill. The circumstances could result in a very significant punishment for the player, in addition to whatever sanctions the criminal justice system may impose.In 2014, after incidents involving Ray Rice, Greg Hardy, and Adrian Peterson Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys Stitched , the NFL beefed up the Personal Conduct Policy, creating a baseline suspension of six game for any crimes of violence and creating conditions pursuant to which the league can impose a punishment exceeding six games, based on aggravating factors.“Possible aggravating factors include, but are not limited to, a prior violation of the Personal Conduct Policy, , violence involving a weapon, choking, repeated striking, or when an act is , a pregnant woman, or an elderly person, or where the act is committed in the presence of a child,” the Personal Conduct Policy explains Nick Allegretti Jersey nfl draft , with emphasis added.Apart from the fact that the victim of the alleged misconduct is a child (which constitutes an aggravating factor in and of itself), Hill’s past guilty plea to beating and choking his then-pregnant girlfriend would enhance the penalty even more. Because Hill did what he previously did before entering the NFL, he faced no punishment for it from the league office. That punishment would come now, if a violation is proven based on the new allegations.Then there’s the question of whether the Chiefs will do to Hill what they did to Kareem Hunt, summarily severing ties with the player based on evidence of misconduct. In Hunt’s case, the Chiefs concluded that he had lied about his involvement in an incident that was later proven by video. In Hill’s case, it’s entirely possible that he was drafted and employed in 2016 under a clear understanding that one false move would get him cut.Of course, if he’s cut, someone else inevitably will give him another second chance. And that will be a very real factor for the Chiefs to consider before making a final decision. If there’s no longer a place for him in Kansas City, one of the NFL’s other teams would find a way to hold its nose and look the other way to justify embracing arguably the hardest player to defend in the league.For now, it will become impossible to defend Tyreek Hill as a person, if he did what he’s accused of doing. And if it’s true that he broke his child’s arm, the league office should consider protecting all 32 teams from the temptations of his talents by banishing him from the league.
