He's a 2015 3rd round pick who played in 14 games (11 starts) last year and got 10 catches/92 yards (9.2 AVG)/0 TD.

That's textbook disappointment. It's not like he had a lack of opportunity, either. Eifert was either out or limited for most of the season, so Kroft played on 34.4% of the offensive snaps, or just 5% less than Eifert and 3.4% less than Uzomah.

I am not sure how over 1/3rd of the season's offensive snaps is "such limited play". Burkhead had 21.9% of the snaps in 2016 to impress. Josh Shaw impressed in 10.4% of the defensive snaps in 2015 to surpass Dennard on the depth chart for a starting role in 2016.

Sure, it's easy to bust on the guy for only catching 21 passes in two seasons.  However, they only threw the ball his direction 26 times.  Not his fault for not having better numbers.
