It was my impression that he didn't have the numbers in college because the QB ignored him as a pass catcher.

He was open but not thrown to...  which meant he was underutilized(analysis, not my own opinion)but had the perceived skills to be a receiving TE.

You add what I stated above with reaching for him, then you can see why he's considered a flop.

Don't get me wrong.  I have seen him grade well in blocking.

I just am not sure if he was intended to be one dimensional as a draft pick by our team.
