Bottom line is Fortson is going to make the team and he will play TE and mainly be used to catch passes rather than block. The size of his ass, his legs, or cock for that matter, mean nothing as far as changing any of that.

The NFL, like most things in life, has patterns. Most players in specific position groups have similar attributes.
WR's for example typically have long, lean limbs. They have high set, thinner calves, like a sprinter. They're generally skinnier at the ankle as well. Their muscle structure is different than say, that of a RB. Look at the build of Watkins, Hardman, D-Rob etc.
RB's typically have the most impressive pound for pound lower bodies, as they need to power through 300lbs linemen, drag piles etc. They have calves like bowling balls, thick legs and ass. Look at Helair.
QB's typically tend to be thick in the mid section. They create torque with their bodies constantly, and as such have incredibly strong cores. Look at Mahomes for example.

These muscle structures and body types aid in their unique ability to play their position. Hence why you see common themes throughout NFL rosters.
I'm merely pointing out that Fortson doesn't fit the mold of NFL TE's. He's still built like a WR, which begs the question of whether he can do real TE things in a real NFL game.
Does he have the base to drive against a LB and block? Because yes, he will have to do that. Can he pass protect? Yes, he will have to do that. Can he fight off a LB pressing him at the LoS, and battle through him to make the catch? Because those are TE things. The stronger the base (legs and ass and so forth) the better the ability to accomplish those tasks. Hence my comments about him still looking like a WR.
If you think he's going to just line up and do Travis Kelce things, you're mistaken. The amount of routes Kelce runs is a luxury most TE's aren't afforded, even Kelce admits that. Fortson has to bring more to the table other than just catching the ball to ever develop into a true TE.
