Devin Funchess' Arrow Pointing Up
Devin Funchess walked out of the team's first preseason game as one of the highlights. The veteran was playing his first game-action snaps since breaking his collarbone in 2019 and caught a team-high six catches for 70 yards. Funchess opted out of last season and looked to have a spring in his step playing with mostly the second-team offense. He made some excellent grabs, including a couple of wildly off-target throws from backup quarterback Jordan Love that turned into completions thanks to Funchess. The veteran will need to continue this type of production if he intends on making the final roster.
