Witten:
-Put up more yards in his junior year than Sample did in his 4 year career combined.
-Came out as an underclassman.
-Witten was 6'6, 266lbs, and ran a 4.65 40-yard, while getting 25 reps at the bench (would have been the most in this year's TE class, Sample didn't even lift).
-Was a 3rd rounder.
I'm not sure I see the connection to a smaller, slower, less productive, weaker TE who was taken a round earlier. I mean, it'd be cool if the Bengals managed to get a HoF TE, but it'd also be cool if Andy Dalton turned into Tom Brady. Is that likely, though?
(Interesting Fact: Witten missed exactly 1 game in his 14 year career, in his rookie season. He played 219 straight games to finish out his career.)
