And you do know that LB's and TE's are ab out the same, speed-wise these days.  As a group, I would even say LB's are faster than TE's.

Between Burkhead, who I like a lot, and Eifert, we'll see who catches more passes.  When you're chanting Eifert's name, remember this conversation.

Not only that, but when you talk to everyone on the team they say this guy is amazing.  I totally agree with McC that this guy will be an absolute mega star if he stays healthy.  He's filling out nicely with age and who cares how he was tackled.  The guy caught the ball and got the first which is what his job is; would you rather have Gresham drop it and punt.
