I'm not saying he's a long-term keeper yet. He has 2 years left on his rookie contract to show continued growth.
I'll be interested to see what his role ends up being in 2025.

And as a follow up to this, I decided to look up the 4th receiving option in each of the Top 7 teams in passing:
CIN - Iosivas - 479 yards, 6 TDs
DET - Tim Patrick - 394 yards, 3 TDs (Jahymr Gibbs does have more receiving yards and is technically 4th at 517 yards, 4 TDs, but I was looking for 4th WR/TE. Even so, Gibbs would be right there with the rest of these guys if we consider him 4th option)
TB - Jalen McMillan - 461 yards, 8 TDs
SEA - Noah Fant - 500 yards, 1 TD
MIN - Jalen Nailor - 414 yards, 6 TDs
BAL - Isaiah Likely - 477 yards, 6 TDs
KC - Noah Gray - 437 yards, 5 TDs

The reality is Iosivas is right up there with the rest of the 4th options in production.


Let's also look at the 3rd option of each:
CIN - Gesicki - 665 yards, 2 TDs
DET - Sam LaPorta - 726 yards, 7 TDs
TB - Cade Otton (because Godwin was 2nd option until he went down to injury) - 600 yards, 4 TDs
SEA - Tyler Lockett - 600 yards, 2 TDs
MIN - TJ Hockenson (10 games) - 455 yards, 0 TDs
BAL - Mark Andrews - 673 yards, 11 TDs
KC - DeAndre Hopkins (10 games) - 436 yards, 4 TDs

Gesicki was also right up there with the other 3rd options in the other high passing offenses.

I think some people need to change their expectations some about what a 3rd and 4th option should be producing.
