Uzomah says he's 'fully cleared'

In cases like this where they may lack some opportunities over the more prominent guys, you also can reference PFF. I usually do anyway.
While they aren't perfect, they usually aren't far off at all in their evaluations.
Uzomah has never had any PFF score higher than a 68.1, which was 2017.
His highest receiving score was 64.7, which was all the way back in 2015 where he caught one ball on one target.
Last year, his overall rating was 58.8 with a receiving rating of 61.2. His pass block was 75.3 and run block was 54.9.

So while I get your point that he "could" be, I'm skeptical because he's not really shown to be an upper tier pass catcher when given the opportunities in the past.

EDIT - For reference, 34 TEs had a receiving grade of 70+ last year. 33 had an overall grade of 70+.
