In approx. 250 snaps, he did:

33 18 177 9.8 2 12

As a 3rd TE/season call-up, that really isn't bad: I think if Moss or Wilcox (or even Sample) did that last year, we'd be satisfied.

I don't know if it's because he couldn't grasp playbooks or if his blocking was truly THAT bad to negate anything else, but he was absolutely a talented pass catcher and a half.

Coffman was probably ahead of his time.
Guy had only 177 receiving yards in 7 years in the NFL.
But he put up 2659 yards and 30 TDs across 4 seasons at Mizzou.
Dude was 100% a big WR who had the TE label.
Teams definitely at the time kept him on the bench because of his (lack of) blocking ability.
I think in today's NFL, teams would definitely be more creative in getting him on the field to utilize his pass catching ability and worry less about his blocking.
