"Holden was a guy that they really liked at training camp last year, but again had no special teams experience and was really having to
learn that on the fly at training camp. What does that look like now that he’s had a whole year of development there? It could look a lot better and he have a better chance of making this roster. For a pure receiving perspective, if it was just based off that, I think Holden would have a pretty good chance of making the team. The special teams aspect is arguably bigger than the receiving aspect of it.”

Mingo enters training camp facing an uphill battle to secure his place on the roster. The addition of George Pickens dramatically reshaped the wide receiver depth chart, leaving Mingo competing for one of the final receiver spots instead of fighting for meaningful offensive snaps. Anthony Smith, Tan Holden and other depth options were mentioned as legitimate competition, especially if they can contribute on special teams. At this point, Mingo looks like a player who needs an impressive camp to keep his roster hopes alive.
