No, not "fine" but not horrible. In 2022 he was 80th of 84 receivers targeted 48 or more times, but his drop rate was "only" about 10%. Missing as much time as he did, just a couple plays make significant difference.

His first game, first play drop was bad, but easily attributable to nerves. The two drops against Dallas were worse imho. It's probably not "hands" as much as "focus". A couple drops this year were the same, not concentrating on catching through completion of the act of catching. It's not the ability, it's the performance.
