How can I stay on top of my playbook, stay watching film, keep doing all those little things to where when I get back I can still talk coverages, I can still talk plays and not feel like I'm three months behind or trying to catch up to the veterans how I felt when I first got here.

Negative signalRole

Chism's Year 2 focus on playbook mastery and mental growth positions him for expanded role.

Entering Year 2 after making 53-man roster as UDFA, Chism appeared in 8 regular season games (3 catches, 75 yards, 1 TD) plus 1 playoff game (20-yard reception in Wild Card win vs. Chargers). His offseason focus shifted to mental preparation—mastering playbook details and film study to avoid feeling behind veterans. Wide receiver coach Todd Downing noted progression in understanding concepts and formations, with exposure last year when Mack Hollins was injured helping him move around different spots. Chism embraced the competitive WR room additions (A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs) as motivation, stating competition makes everyone better.
