Tanner Hudson Appreciation Post

Burrow is looking for him, and he's making receptions.
Hudson is leading the TEs in yardage, YPR, and catch % and he's only been active for 4 games:
Hudson - 126 yards, 9.0 YPR, 77.8% catch
Smith - 89 yards, 6.4 YPR, 70.0% catch
Sample - 52 yards, 6.5 YPR, 72.7% catch
Wilcox - 17 yards, 5.7 YPR, 60.0% catch

Not to get too far ahead, but Hudson could potentially be around a 400-500 yard TE if he got enough opportunities for an entire season, as he's on pace for 31.5 yards per game.

On top of the stats, Hudson also just looks the best as a receiver among the TEs. He doesn't look clunky like most TEs do.

He wasn't bad, but wasn't overly impressive in this one.  Yes, he had 6 catches, but 33 yards on 7 targets is not good at all.

He needs to be used as a complementary piece to catch the D off guard.  There's no reason Hudson should be getting more targets than Chase in a game where we were tied or behind the vast majority of the time.
