I get John Ross vibes from the guy, basically you can complain the system and the coaches kept him down, but a guy taken with a premium pick should force himself into relevance through sheer ability alone.
He is averaging just 2 yards less per season in his career than Mike Gesicki got this year that had people all excited and hyped up for wanting to keep him despite knowing that Joe Burrow has been giving TEs massive performance bumps for 4 years now (how's Hayden Hurst and CJ Uzomah doing post-Burrow?).
If you look at per 17 games (he had one injury in his 2nd year where he missed 7 games) then he's averaging 739 yards, an average which would be the highest total for a single season a Bengals TE has had since Bob Trumpy in 1969 pre-NFL.
He was a bust as far as the #4 pick goes, but if he was the #30, he would be considered a success. Throwing him in with John Ross, who physically could not catch a football, is some outright disrespectful shit, Nately. Lol
