He played his butt off in college but they didn't use him as a receiving threat.
You just don't pick the player if you don't plan on using him to his strengths.
Same with Gresham.
What's the point?
Yet they pick Eifert and play him exactly as he should have been as a receiving TE.
That's the point.
Is Eifert a better player? Most certainly because that is what he excels at.
Gresham's performance after leaving the Bengals are all on the backside of his career.
Coffman struggled with injuries and struggled in the NFL.
When he was a fresh rookie he should have been plugged in like Eifert was. At least attempted. Instead he was inactive.
Again. That was my point. Not that he failed.
They never even tried to get him on the field when our TE play was not great and didn't do much as receivers.
Dan Coats and JP Foschi? C'mon man.
Exactly, they just don't use players to their strengths, especially if they are not first rounders.
Doesn't matter where you are drafted, every player that is drafted has their own strengths, use them as such.
Eifert was a first rounder and they knew how to use him cause he was a first rounder with crazy talent that couldn't be ignored.
High commodity.
