Hurst was 14th among TEs in receptions last year, and only played 13 out of a 17 game season.
Uzomah was 17th among TEs in receptions in 2022 in 16 out of 17 games.

Imagine if they had an actually good TE.

I think this is much the same problem we have with RBs. We don't have a great one, so we don't run a lot because downs are valuable. That doesn't mean we wouldn't run more if we had a great RB. Good players generally get more touches and that's true regardless of offensive scheme.

I can't say with confidence the Bengals would use a TE more if they had a better one until we actually see it.
I'd love for it to happen.
