7:08 mark, watch Sample whiff and run right past his guy...

On that same play, you can see All working really well in a crowd. 

I was at this game and All stood out. Physically, he looked as big as the OL. But his speed was amazing, in not only taking simple tosses/flats for good gains, but also in blocking.

He lined up in-line, in the backfield, and on the perimeter. 

On our first TD (8:24 mark) what this video doesn't show is that he was lined up outside with a CB on him, before he came across the entire formation to seal the LB for Brown's TD. 

Then coming out of half time, he caught the first ball for a first down, then had three great blocks for Brown that led to 40+ yards, putting us in the Panthers red zone. One of the blocks was on a safety 10 yards downfield on a swing pass to Brown. 

These plays signified to me that he is truly a complete TE. With him, you can show a power run and simultaneously a pass, from the same formation. 

Last year he caught 20 of 22 targets for 7.9 yards per. Taylor was opening the passing game for him with some curls and outs, but the unfortunate happened.
