Which is about what I expect from Gesicki. Do I think he can be productive in the offense? Yes. But like Hurst, he really is a backup level TE that the system and players around him will make look better than he really is.
I disagree, no way Gesicki is a backup level TE as far as a pass catcher. The only time he was targeted a lot was on the Fins and he had over
1,000 yards something we haven't ever had around here pretty sure. Dude is big, fast and can run routes like a WR. Eifert was the last TE we
had around here with this talent.
As much as a liked Hayden Hurst with us, he wasn't as fast as Gesicki or as talented as a Receiver. If Gesicki stays healthy this year I expect
him to be the most productive pass catching TE we have had in a long damn time.
Burrow has never had this talented of a TE that can play in the Slot IMO.
