He suffered from the TE not being a focal point of the Huskies game plan. However, if you go back and watch Huskies film you will see very quickly that Sample absolutely understands the passing game. Watching film of the Huskies will show you very quickly that not only does he understand the passing game but that he was the victim of a not very good QB. On way too many occasions Sample was a wide open target that never even received a look from Browning. What you will also see in film is a TE that understands what it means to help his QB out when a play breaks down. Sample consistently worked back to Browning or to a vacant part of the field when Browning was in trouble.
I think Sample is much more accomplished in the receiving game than many are giving him credit for.
Great points, doesn't matter how good you are as a Receiver if your QB just ignores you. Love how he just embraced blocking like a great teammate should do and when he did get targeted all he did was make the play. You definately could be correct and he makes a seamless transition to the NFL passing game with a QB who doesn't ignore the TE.

True that.

Yes, honestly forgot his name but he broke records in college in the passing game and couldn't even see the field for us. He did make a few plays for the Falcons when he went there but overall was very disappointing in the NFL.
