There's not many highlights of him, but, if you watch his games, he has great hands and great body control, and looks like he could do some damage, especially with teams having to pay so much attention to AJ on the outside because a backer can't cover him one-on-one and he's a mismatch for safeties.
Like I said, he has great body control and soft hands, and just these few highlights should give you a clue of what he can do but his quarterback play was weak.
I think that he'll be great for Andy in play action, in the Red Zone, and on third down.
The issue is we live in a fantasy football world. No points for great blocking TE's or great OL. The more I see about him and more I think about adding an actual great blocking TE with Eifert also available as a pass catcher and not have to block much makes me feel the offense in 2019 will look much different in a good way.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
