You act like this kid has never caught a football in his life. He is a good receiver that is a hell of a blocker. No more difficult than that.
Oh well, go ahead and start him. I'm sure there is no difference between being an honorable mention Pac 10 TE and starting in the NFL. He's probably different than every other TE ever drafted and is pro ready. Again, no one is saying he can't develop into a decent TE. For now he is Uzomah's backup on the depth chart. If you want to believe he will start over him (or Eifert) knock yourself out.
Another thing, people are saying it is obvious the draft is about developing better run blocking but thinking about it, the reason I was down on Price last year was that he was a pedestrian run blocker that lacked athleticism. That pretty much panned out as Trey Hopkins out played him.
But that almost mirrors what they say about Williams and Jordan this year as well. I think Sample could be a decent blocker with time.
