If he keeps that pace, he'll have >400 yards this season.

The YPR is very low (6.8) but most Bengals TEs have low YPR.
I'd like 10+ but I don't think the Bengals playcalling makes that a likelihood for most TEs, as they're most often going on short routes.

Hudson's YPR last year was 9.0.
Sample's career YPR is 7.7.
Gesicki's this year is 9.8 while his career is 10.9.
Hurst's in CIN was 8.0, lowest of his career.
Uzomah had just above 10 his last couple years in CIN, while Eifert had >10 his lone year under Taylor.

I am happy with what All is doing as a rookie especially blocking (but some on the board are making him out to be an all pro it seems) but i agree part is playcalling and Burrow maybe giving up some looking mid range , couple times at the game, i saw Gesicki and someone else open in mid range but Burrow had dumped it off...

No doubt though the TEs are helping us more as a group , Hudson can come back healthy, he will add to the mix and if we have injuries, we feel a bit better with this group
