STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Bourne's 49ers experience in same system positions him to stabilize slot role.

Bourne is playing the slot receiver position for the Cardinals after being signed from the 49ers, who run the same LaFleur offensive system. He is used to the short passing game, which is what the slot was invented for. While he runs a 4.68 forty (not elite speed like Tyreek Hill), he has quickness and rarely gets jammed at the line. The slot position requires the ability to create separation and defend against head-hunting safeties. With nine years of experience, if Bourne can fill his role, the Cardinals will have the balanced passing attack they have been missing since Larry Fitzgerald.
