I remember Cris Collinsworth's last season. If he came on the field it was only on obvious passing downs. If he caught the ball and ran out of bounds, the he was available for at least one more third down later in the game. If he caught the ball and was tackled, it usually took him a few days to recover from the tackle so his day was over, but he moved the chains on a crucial drive before the end of the first half or got a first down in the third quarter when they're trying to protect a lead. I could see Eifert in a similar type of role with the drafting of Sample.

I do too.  I don't think he wants Tyler out there banging heads in the run game much either.  Wouldn't it be nice to have Eifert in a crucial situation late in the season?

He has some technique to clean up from what I've read, but has an unbelievable first step, and can overpower linemen.  I think he'll see some spot duty.

I think it's a fair assessment too, but Jonah Williams is likely to be a pro bowler if he continues his trajectory.  This is a guy that started as a true freshman for Nick Saban, and gave up ONE sack in three years in the SEC.  He may not be a HOFer, but I think this guy will be a rock solid offensive lineman with All Pro potential.  He's that good.
