I'm sure you're thinking "but that was a long time ago", and you'd be right.

But my point is that 4.75 is pretty slow. We're not losing speed by replacing Kroft.

From an article regarding Kroft's Pro Day at Rutgers:

"Kroft posted numbers across the board that would have ranked among the top tight ends at the Combine. His 4.67 40-yard dash would have been the third-best time at the Combine and his 10-foot broad jump would have tied for second."


Here is the link to the article:

I think one of the supposed strengths of Kroft was that he was a really good blocker, but he just hasn't stayed healthy here for whatever reason.  I sure hope that entire TE crop is healthy this year as they are needed in the red zone.
