AMEN

I really thought the dude had loads of receiving talent coming out of college. He still looks fluid to me. I hope he shows it this year.

He seem to stay away from Miami scrip clubs and doesn't seem to have a proclivity toward shooting friends in the face, so that's good.

Agree. He has a HB type feel to him in the NFL that I think could have a place on this team. Finley (bigger this year, working on his full game), DJ Williams (FB body with TE receiving ability) and Eddie Lacy (potential legitimate running back) the Packers have some formations that they could run. I like his skillset. I don't think of him as your bellcow TE type, but I think he has a place, especially against teams who don't have an athletic base defense or teams that have a small base defense that we could possibly exploit in the run game. . . . . . I'll be paying attn to him, I guess that's all I'm sayin.
