Sample is terrible. He brings nothing to the table and it's not hard to find his type of talent on the scrap heap. The fact that he had only 11 catches for 80 yards while playing 40% of snaps should tell you something. He was a waste of a 2nd round pick.

1. Not terrible.
2. Absolutely brings something to the table
3. Despite being drafted too-high, absolutely has a role on this team.

These are all guys who are similar to Sample; they are/were all superb blockers, who added little to nothing in the passing game. As you can see, the majority of them were day 2 picks (like Sample) and yes, I know it was a different era, but the point stands; players like this are wanted and valued.

Like him or not Sample will be on this team for as long as he plays in the league, IMO and I see his trajectory to be like Bruener's (who was drafted in the *1st*, as can be seen above).

Deal with it.
