That in itself shows a special quality not found in most athletes of his caliber, selflessness.  He has the ability to love playing the game and enjoy helping his team, without having to make a big impact on the stat sheets to achieve that satisfaction.  And, it's not like he can't catch or run routes, because he can, very well at that.  In fact, on many CFB teams, he might have been their 2nd options on all pass plays called. (Iowa??)

I was shocked on draft night also. I looked at wife, she looked at me and said is he good. I had never heard of him, so after a few choice words, I went to the internet to check him out. I went for WTF to happy we addressed another blocking issue. We always equate OL blocking with just OL, but I have seen Eifert and our other TE's miss so badly it almost got AD killed.

I think he becomes a huge part of us trying to run the ball and develops into a great safety net on 3rd down. I hope he is our version of Heath Miller, a lot to ask but if close it becomes an awesome 2nd round pick (Miller was a 1st round pick).
