Around the league, TEs are becoming the wild card that no one wants to face. Bigger than a DB can handle. Faster than a LB. The current weapon of choice in a lot of good offenses. The Os that don't have a really good TE, want one. The ones that have one, want another one.
We have one. Now let's get another.

Now you're speaking my language. TE is where you want your big-body playmaker, and you explained precisely why that is. It's almost impossible to match up with them.

Here's some food for thought....Misses for tds
Vikings - a fingertip away from a 75 yard td (that would of made a 75 and what an 82 in 4 games that's got to be a record for a te)
Detroit- he was held in the end zone for an easy td.
Chiefs- that was a td on a horrific call.
So close but I believe he is right behind Gronkowski and kelce. I think he's better in every way than ertz. Ertz does have a few drops here and there too.

Remember when people were saying he's "average" and "it's time to move on" after one week? Seriously lmfao. It was absurd then and it's even more absurd now.

I loved that, but the end of the play frustrates me...Houston still got a strip sack
Houston actually gets up and gets a strip-sack afterwards, which is hilarious. And the play didn't even count because of a defensive hold: pic.twitter.com/NZBdukYkdv

Don't you think shanny loves 3 WR sets too much and juice (then) to find another TE to utilize?

Kittle--6'4" 250 ran a 4.5 40. Plus, looks very smooth in his routes, decent to good hands. What's not to like. He's keeping Celek on the bench.

Maybe my post was confusing, but I was affirming that it's great to have Kittle. Loved his tape and athletic profile coming out of college. See page 1.

If you can combine a little bit of both VD and Delanie Walker—you get Kittle. He will occasionally drop an easy one like both too

Good dude also he spent about an hour after practice during training camp to sign autographs and was willing to take pics with whoever asked for one.

I think pass-catching running backs are equally in demand as TEs. Kyle had huge plans for McKinnon, but too bad.
