23rd in receptions
28th in yards
14th in catch% (among 33 TEs with at least 20 rec)
21st in yds/target (min 20 rec)
25th in yds/rec (min 20 rec)

You can't really conclude anything from his usage rate because it appears that in Taylors offense the TE is one of the last options on any pass play.  As Burrow goes through his reads Sample is just not one of the top options.  This was the same when Taylor was in LA.  I know he was not the oC with the Rams, but the systems the run are supposed to be similar.
