Instead it is getting in and out of hard cuts and running tight routes. That is tough for big guys. I bet both Uzomah and Hurst are faster than Tyler Eifert in a straight line, but that guy could run routes like a WR.
As long as he gets enough targets any big, fast, athletic TE can roll up 500-700 yards just catching a bunch of stuff underneath, a few TE screens, and hit a few long ones straight down the seams. But the 1000 yd TEs can run routes to get open.
Hurst has a lot of potential, but I have never really watched him play. I am excited about this signing.
CJ is taller and a bit heavier. He's a long strider so he looks "clunkier". Hurst is more compact in his step, and like you mentioned, gets in and out of his breaks a bit quicker. He just looks more fluid due to his shorter strides. Both of them are athletic, have good body control and good hands.
Eifert has CJs height but he's lighter than both of them so his routes were more crisp.
