Might Richard Rodgers be a better prospect than we think?

For his size I expected RR to be a better blocker that he was. If he learns that part of the game, he could be a pretty good old-school TE, lining up next to the tackle and blocking or running routes. Chewy would be his ceiling, which is pretty good. With Lacy, having a TE that can block or catch well is good for making the offense less predictable.

Blocking techniques can be learned. Chewy wasn't a good blocker coming out of Boston College, but he became one of the best.
