  Gunner Romney hasn't played a full season yet since arriving at BYU. He played eight games last year after having an early season knee injury. He played 10 the year before that. At the NFL level, he knows an injury prone, older player is not desirable. And the second part of the equation is showing explosiveness as an athlete. He's above-average as a deep threat in BYU's offense. Last year, he averaged 17.5 yards per catch. In 2020, he nearly averaged 20 yards per reception. But there are plenty of athletes at the next level who can be down-field options. The separation will be turning smaller plays into first downs. It is something Milne, a similarly fringe NFL player, has done to stick in the NFL.

"I think my biggest strength is obvious," Romney said of his self-evaluation. "But I want to be able to make [more] out of the shorter plays. So catching the 5-yard route and turning that into [something]. Or just being more explosive with my yards after catch and things like that." By his assessment, his explosiveness will be enhanced by staying healthy. He changed his approach this offseason by taking more time when his body is worn down. In previous years, he might have forced himself to lift or practice when his body wasn't feeling well. The injuries he's had were mostly fluke plays, he says, and hard to prevent. In the first game of the season last year, a defender rolled up on his leg and hurt his knee. A similar play happened in 2020. - Salt Lake Tribune
