Ya, no coach has a Rob Gronkowski in his line-up and chooses not to utilize that.. So, if the kid is a game change in the passing game, he'll be running routes for Scotty. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm curious to ask what the Top three teams other than Nebraska might be a better fit or project him to be a better NFL Tight End. Any thoughts from anyone? Personally, I think this kid would be developed better at Iowa ... just based off of track record alone. Glad he is liking us. I don't know if I'm sold that we would really be committed to getting this kid 8-10 catches a game. We might get him 8-10 looks and 3-5 catches in those looks. Other than that ... he is a blocker. I'm all game if he is used the way I envision him ... but how sold is everyone else that this kid will be used to truly change the TE position? Input? Noah Fant had 78 catches in 3 seasons at Iowa, with 39 being the most in a single season. All but 1 NFL receiver averaged less than 8 catches a game this year. 3-5 catches a game would be realistic for any top TE in college, especially in a cold weather state. Agree that Iowa is the better choice with their recent TE success, but TE’s are drafted based on potential more than any other position. 4 Quote Link to comment

If the kid is a stud, they are going to target him over and over. 1 Quote Link to comment

I was excited about him when he was a hard knocks sensation but the jury is still out if he's a legit contender in NFL. Hard to say when everything was so messed up with that passing game, from the QB play to the play calling to the o-Line. I mean, he ceretainly could be great. Kitchens and Baker made OBJ look like me out there, so here's hoping.. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Word in Michigan and Notre Dame are two schools that may pique his interest. But the Huskers still said to be in really good shape. 2 Quote Link to comment
