Couple good plays there. Two great blocks, sideline toe drag catch, taking a hit shedding it and going for a TD.

Nothing overwhelming, but there's a pretty hard limit on how much you can put up in an offense with Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Terrance Marshall, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire already getting their touches.

I'm not sure he'll ever do much of anything in the NFL, but I am willing to give him a try if it means that Sample doesn't play 45% of the offensive snaps anymore.

Good stuff, Leap.  Before anyone throws out how he was signed by the WFT and then released, he had a significant foot injury that required surgery that he apparently played through.  He is a very underrated TE as a receiver.  As Hobson said once in camp:  "The LBs simply can't stay with him".  (Cue the lack of coverage skills by the LBs).  

Not playing ST is a big debit in his ledger, but I think he probably has been working on that and I hope he gets a shot.  He is also underrated as a blocker.  Like Gio's ability vs. Mixon's....It isn't size and strength, but technique and will.  

Good luck, Thad, and I hope Randy is at the game.
