Not since Rodney Holman, have the Bengals had a TE that was as equally valuable as a blocker, as he was as a receiver. I'm counting on Sample being that complete football player that is able to help the team on every play, weather he touches the ball or not.
I think Hewitt was in between a fullback and blocking TE weight wise. I am not sure compared to top blocking TE's he was every top 5 or top 10 in the league. But maybe someone with PFF can prove me wrong.
I don't think we have ever had a great blocking TE teamed with Eifert.
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.
