I know the exact play you're talking about. It was a poor, weak effort. It was WR-esque.
It seems like others either ignored it or just didn't see it.
My other concern is whether or not he's ready to embrace the physicality of the position. If i had to guess, that may be a reason why you rarely see the WR to TE conversion be successful at this level.
That clip of him blocking, iirc, Willie Gay. Where he got bitched at for putting his head down.
IMO, putting your head down means you're bracing for contact. Which begs the question, does contact like that bother him?
These are things im certain the Chiefs are watching and evaluating. If he improves on them in time to be a contributor this season that'd be awesome. If not, maybe next season he'll be ready /shrug.
