Football wise he definitely has a role in case of a Hurst injury. Looks like the FO is just as afraid as me of looking up one day mid season and having to start Sample at TE1. With OJ, if Hurst is injured we don’t all of a sudden have to ditch all the plays where Hurst is the hot read but with how late he is being added he won’t have the playbook knowledge or chemistry to get big minutes probably for a couple weeks.
I could see him being a short yardage gimmick look. If routes and hands are his issues, then the easy fix a good coach would do is to limit his responsibility. He’s still very athletic at the position so getting him the ball and letting him run is what we want.
