He's obviously blocking different size players than a typical TE would, but according to PFF, Auden Tate had 67 run blocking snaps last year with a 77.6 run block grade, the highest run block grade on the team.
He also had a 68.6 pass block grade, but on just 7 pass blocking snaps.

He has the profile of a TE and looks to be able to block well, but he'd need to pack on about 10-20 lbs honestly if he's gonna start blocking inline. I think he could do it, but he needs to start the move this year if he's gonna do it. Not everyone can be Tim Tebow and just convert to TE in their 30's lol.
