What are his run blocking grades? Why not just put a 6th lineman out there if all he is gonna do is pass block? Is our Oline so bad that we need a TE to block on so many pass plays?

His run block grade is 61.5, which is 23rd among all eligible TEs.
Only 9 eligible TEs have run block grades at 70+


Tanner Hudson actually has the highest run blocking grade on the entire team - 81.8.
But he's not among eligible TEs in the above metric because he only has 7 run block snaps.

Wilcox has a run block grade of 53.3 (32 snaps)
Smith has a run block grade of 40.0 (16 snaps)
