But I am interested to see what he can do or if he will get significant snaps. Don't see him getting close to Uzo, but Sample plays over a third of the snaps and he might be an upgrade there.
The point I was trying to make about the injury was that it could have effected his play. And "day 3" includes the 4th round, so it isn't like it was a done deal that he wouldn't be drafted. The injury hurt his stock quite a bit, I believe. Regardless, I don't see him getting snaps from either Uzo or Sample, but could be used if they go three TEs where Sample is almost always used as a blocker.
It was odd early on this week that Sample was split outside a few snaps.
