"Unguardable"

He also was a Pro Bowler in 2015. It's hard to be labeled a bust when you go to the Pro Bowl (and I don't think he went as an alternate either, but an actual Pro Bowler).

Eifert through 3 years as a 21st overall pick TE: 94/1,097/15 ... Pro Bowl x1
Ross through 3 years as a 9th overall pick WR: 49/716/10

Bengals went to the playoffs each of the first 3 years Eifert was with the team and he contributed to two of those years. That plus the Pro Bowl season is what saved him from being labeled as a bust.

But again he mostly went to the Pro Bowl because of the TD’s. 52 rec and 615 yds is nothing special for a receiving TE in this day and age. At least compared to the big boys (Kelce, Kittle, Gronk, etc).
