Then we would take him out and suck. This frustrated me big time.

Why pay the man and then make him sit on the bench even though he is doing a great job?

He, like Kroft, Uzomah, and Eifert, all had significant injuries last season that they were trying to play through.  Their effectiveness was greatly impacted and I completely expect Hewitt to become a key part of the offense in 2017-18.

I love the idea of starting in the backfield, and having him roll out and catch passes.  He has receiving skills unlike almost any fullback in the league.  I almost wonder if Zampese just didn't have many plays for him because he hadn't had someone of his skill set before.  

I have a feeling we will see a lot more of two TE sets with Hewitt moving from the backfield to the LOS as a receiver and back without changing personnel.
