The thing that makes Kittle so good is that he is such a good blocker when he chips and releases off the block people are just happy to not be blocked they lose track of him in the routes. I am not saying Sample is in the same universe, I am saying though his excellent blocking should give him a lot of opportunities as he gets more snaps as the main TE.
The thing that makes George Kittle so good is that he's had 2,430 yards reveiving over the last two seasons. An average of 1,215.
Is blocking important? Sure. Do you invest 2nd round picks on blocking tight ends? No.
Until Sample can prove to be anything of value in the pass game then he's just an amazing, distaterous waste of a pick.
