Yup. Not to mention they are asked to block guys much larger than them on a regular basis.

Well at least for the next 3 years and it looks to me like we are in win now mode. I think this would be the pick up to put us over the top.
I wouldn't go that far, but it could help keep the offense from falling apart if Eifert goes down.
At the very least, he'd bring good competition and a veteran presence to the younger guys.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
