Pass blocking TE’s are golden with protecting Burrow when you have our WR trio and a sure catch Mixon who’s annually a top 10 PFF receiver.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

A majority of Sample's pass block reps this year have been at RB so calling him the best pass blocking TE is a bit of a misnomer. Also if Sample continues to be the 3rd down running back he has to continue to stack receiving preformances like he did against Buffalo.
Everyone always talks about getting a Fullback but the Third Down Running Back is like the modern day version of the fullback. They have to be able to Run Catch and Block. Samaje Perine is the perfect example of the modern day fullback.

This.
Almost every team in the league has a guy like Sample. Combination H-back/FB/TE. Eligible receiver that is basically there to block. Most of these guys will play 30-40% of the snaps, but still just catch a handful of passes for the season.
Steelers used a third round pick on Darnel Washington this year. He has played 45% of their offensive snaps but only has 2 receptions on 4 targets.
