speedster with real upside, but injuries capped the payoff at Notre Dame
Freddy Canteen arrived at Notre Dame as a fast, former four-star receiver with legit big-play juice, but his Irish career was derailed by shoulder issues and a labrum injury that limited him to 1 catch for 7 yards in the 2017 season. The best fit-case on Canteen is easy to see: vertical speed, experience, and a low-risk/high-reward profile. The caution flag is just as clear: durability and availability were the story, not steady production. If you need a twitchy receiver who can stress defenses, he’s intriguing; if you need volume and reliability, the track record says proceed carefully.
