That's not even touching 349 vs 1416 yards or 1 vs 11 TDs. Sample is a super short checkdown TE who doesn't get 1st downs, isn't impressive YAC, doesn't go down the field, and can't compile stats... but sure, that 3% catch rate difference makes up for all of that.


....this has to be trolling, right?

Not really trolling, just giving stats with a hint of apparently undetectable sarcasm.  Obviously Drew Sample is NOT Kelce.  But Drew Sample is also clearly not a Bum.  I think he’s making the most of his chances.  But really, I’d also say a big part of his stats (or lack thereof) likely have more to do with him supporting the O-Line, which can you imagine the vitriol from everyone regarding not doing everything we can to protect Burrow?  But no, we instead choose the narrative of Zac doesn’t know how to use a TE instead.  Because it makes us happy to criticize our players even when it’s ridiculous.
