Gresham was a bum too?

Kroft is still on rosters

CJ was great for us

Chase Coffman wasn’t that good but he didn’t suck ass

Orson Charles was a bust

Jury still out on Drew Sample




Maybe you can say we’ve never drafted a bonafide superstar but we’ve drafted good TEs. Also factor in Eifert and Sample were the only TEs we took high so honestly i count that as 1 for 2 for drafting good TEs when we’ve done it high. That has to mean something

No shit!

How can anyone forget Eifert.  He had the elite talent but just had injury woes.

Gresham always gets shit upon from some fans.

Go back and watch him in his prime.

The guy was a beast (ironically what some call Hurst, which I like but wouldn't dare compare his play to Gresham).

Gresham was a physical TE as well as a decent pass catcher.

Unfortunately, his routes were not the best designed causing him to not get as many in-stride catches or seam plays.

You can come with stats but if you watch the tape on JG you'll see he was a damn good TE, the problem was there were other really good TEs coming in at that time too.
