If he can reliably and consistently move the chains and catch passes in the red zone, the offense can get un-stuck against good defensive teams.

Like others have said, don't need an explosive TE in this offense, just one that won't drop the ball and runs his routes effectively. Plus, he can be a great red-zone threat which has been an issue. If he can be even an adequate blocker, we have our TE for the next decade.
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
