Over the last decade only 19 teams have had a rookie TE with more then 30 receptions. The Bengals are one of only 6 teams to have two.
And this has what to do with Drew Sample exactly?
Here's some interesting stats on Tobin and Tight Ends for you...
-In the last decade TE's he's drafted have hit 1,000 yards ZERO times.
-In the last decade TE's he's drafted have hit 900 yards ZERO times.
-In the last decade TE's he's drafted have hit 800 yards ZERO times.
-In the last decade TE's he's drafted have hit 700 yards ONE time.
-In the last decade TE's he's drafted have hit 600 yards TWO times.
-In the just last decade he's drafted a total TWO first round TE's, a 2nd round TE, and a 3rd round TE.
-In the last 20 years of employment all of the above stats are true. ZERO's across the board at 1,000, 900, 800.
Since joining the Bengals in 1999, here is each Tight End drafted, followed by their draft position, and career high in yards:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000 - Brad St. Louis - 7th round - 0 yards
2001 - Sean Brewer - 3rd round - 0 yards
2002- Matt Schobel - 3rd round - 332 yards
2008 - Matt Sherry - 6th round - 0 yards
2009 - Chase Coffman - 3rd round - 71 yards
2010 - Jermaine Gresham - 1st round - 737 yards
2012 - Orson Charles - 4th round - 101 yards
2013 - Tyler Eifert - 1st round - 615 yards
2015 - Tyler Kroft - 3rd round - 404 yards
2015 - CJ Uzomah 5th round - 439 yards
2017 - Mason Schreck - 7th round - 0 yards
2019 - Drew Sample - 2nd round - 30 yards
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's is the list of picks he's used on TE's in rounds 2-4: Sean Brewer, Matt Schobel, Chase Coffman, Orson Charles, Tyler Kroft, and Drew Sample. That's a total of SIX players. 4 3rd round picks, 1 2nd round, pick and 1 4th round pick.
Now here is their CAREER HIGH in yardage of all SIX players combined into one total: 938
Even if you combine 6 players TE's he's drafted very best seasons, all which were drafted in the top half of the draft, they still can't reach 1,000 yards. All this said, I do have to admit, that 30 receptions things in their rookie year is stilll pretty impressive. Obviously, Duke Tobin knows Tight Ends.
