Apparently out of 110 eligible TE’s Sample is #1 in pass blocking and as a bonus he’s 33/110 in run blocking.


So he’s having a good bounceback season once you factor in he’s not here to catch passes but his only real purpose is to block.


Still not happy about getting a glorified lineman at TE in the second round but being the best pass blocking TE in the league when many of us wanted Darnell Washington is definitely a plus.







Keep chugging Drew. We rock with ya

While it's good what Sample is doing as a blocker, I think it's important to put that into context.

The TE with the most pass blocking snaps is Bellinger - 26.
Sample's pass blocking snaps? 12, which is tied for 21st among TEs

Sample is also only 58th on run blocking snaps, but he does have a respectable 61.5 RB grade.

Sample's big deficit is what it's been his whole career - receiving.
He's 60th among qualified TEs, with a score of 47.3
