He has good hands.  Among the 41 active TEs with at least 100 career receptions he is 14th in catch%.

He is a great combination of size and speed.  At 6-6 he is one of the tallest TEs in the league, and he was the second fastest TE at the '15 combine with a 4.62 forty.

I am not saying C J is an elite TE by any stretch, but he is the #1 TE on many NFL teams.

Good post.   On top of the stats he's got great intangibles.  He's just a mentally tough competitor.   First really blossomed at the end of the 2019 season (if I remember correctly).  Just made one clutch play after another while getting hammered.  Then missed all of 2020 with a tough Achilles injury.  And he's a great teammate with an enlivening sense of humor.

   
Love this guy.
