Is it because he wasn't getting open?
Is it because he wasn't running deep enough routes and the team needed to get more yards?
If it's because he wasn't really getting open, that's on him.
If he's not running deep enough routes, that's on Taylor for sending him on such short routes.
We know he has decent speed for a TE (4.71 40, 7.15 shuttle, 4.31 3-cone).
Like I said, if he gets more involved and produces in the passing game, great. But if he doesn't, he really wasn't worth such a high pick IMO.
He was being asked to stay in and do what he does best...block. He can't go out for a pass if that isn't the play that is called. If you recall, last year's line kind of sucked so I would imagine he was being asked to stay and help the OTs.
