Really really easily.

He's a 2015 3rd round pick who played in 14 games (11 starts) last year and got 10 catches/92 yards (9.2 AVG)/0 TD.

That's textbook disappointment. It's not like he had a lack of opportunity, either. Eifert was either out or limited for most of the season, so Kroft played on 34.4% of the offensive snaps, or just 5% less than Eifert and 3.4% less than Uzomah.

I am not sure how over 1/3rd of the season's offensive snaps is "such limited play". Burkhead had 21.9% of the snaps in 2016 to impress. Josh Shaw impressed in 10.4% of the defensive snaps in 2015 to surpass Dennard on the depth chart for a starting role in 2016.
