Are we over-rating CJ Uzomah?

I keep seeing "leader" in every post - I think players see a difference in a hype guy vs a leader.  Leadership is kinda earned and we have several leaders.

I watched one show in which players were making fun of other players when they were mic'd up and "over doing it" - not accusing CJ of this I believe he is very genuine.  

I just think true leadership is shown on the field and by example.  I think CJ is great for our team culture and our fanbase.

Im trying to not sound like a dick, but my vocabulary isnt as prolific as it needs to be to make this point.

To that point, in my two previous posts, his composite rank for targets, receptions, yards and tds is 12.5--just outside the top 10. And he's 6 in total YAC. 

I'd give him that he shows it on the field. 

His current market value, per sportrac is 8.2M, which lines up with what i posted before and i don't see any names on the TE FA market that i would take over him, with Gronk likely staying in TB. Maybe OJ Howard, with his athleticism. That's about it for me.  

EDIT: from what he appears, it wouldn't surprise me to see him take a team-friendly deal to stay with Burrow.
