Last year scrappy white TE Drew Sample, #89 (6'4", 258) played 42% of the offensive snaps mainly as a blocker.  He only had 11 receptions for 81 yards and is one of the most hated players on the team.

The only difference between these two players is that Hewitt was an undrafted free agent while Sample was a second round pick.  Drew can't help where he was drafted, and he does play an important role in our offense playing close to half of the snaps.

I think it is time to form a "Drew Crew" to get our man a little of the love he deserves for doing the dirty work that never gets any credit.

Who is in?

That's the only difference, and it's also a massive difference. If Drew Sample were drafted where he should have been, in the 5th to 7th round, I think people would like him.

I think people just see him and think of who we could have drafted instead. It's one of Zac and team's very few "complete whiffs" in his three drafts with the team.
