Drew Sample is a Bum

I was hammered talking to Kyle Rudolph's father at the Christian Moerlein lager house in 2014. He said Bob Trumpy was the 2nd best tight end of all time. Samples nipping at his heels.

Bob Trumpy's last 4 years in the league were when he was declining.
During the rest of Trumpy's career (in an era where passing was way lower that it is today btw), here were his stats:
1968 - 639 yards
1969 - 835 yards
1970 - 480 yards
1971 - 531 yards
1972 - 500 yards
1973 - 435 yards

Keep in mind that the season was 14 games back then.

In comparison, here are Sample's stats each year:
2019 - 30 yards
2020 - 301 yards (4 games remaining)

Sample is averaging 25 yards per game this season. If he gets that the rest of this season, he'll just hit 400 yards. Trumpy exceeded that mark every year for his first 6 years in the league.

To even think Sample comes close to Trumpy is asinine.
