Agree.
Ya we'll see how he turns out. If he can be at least a solid backup it was a win. But personally I don't see him turning into some pro bowl player
It'll be really difficult for him to become a pro bowler because he's playing alongside kittle, CMC, Deebo, and Aiyuk.
i can see him being clutch for us on third downs and redzone though. If he becomes a pro bowler or ends up with great stats these next few seasons will be because he's open with the defense super focused on every one else and matched up against misfits.
I'm referring to his skill set.
I would've preferred a better run blocking TE if we are just looking for a solid backup.
Yeah, he definitely has a lot of areas that need to improve if he wants to be a difference maker. He's still raw. I think the separation will increase as his route running technique grows - which he should be able to learn through coaching and kittle, then couple that with Kyle scheming him open. He should be fine.
i would be more concerned if we didn't have Kittle, but since he won't be TE1 this year, he should be very effective when his number is called.
