Nick Kiezer had those opportunities last year and ****ed us by dropping easy passes. Just catch the ball and we good

In a training camp scrimmage you don't put your full body weight down on your star DT/DE unless you want to start a camp fight. He knocked him on his backside. Jones won one lost one and a possible draw.

He's an inch shorter than Harris, but with a 2 inch wider wingspan. Fortson also reminds me of the time we had Leonard Pope, too - same height, but about 15 pounds lighter. Just a tall, long armed dude that we can chuck it up it to at the goal line if need be. Dumbastrious Harris with hands would be a fantastic addition, and a possible boxout mismatch if the defense is rolling with 7 DB's.

**** no. Kelce is thicker than Fortson. You look at those two bodies and think they're even remotely similar? Kelce looks the part of a TE. Fortson....looks like a big WR.

Kelce plays basically as a big WR though. How he looks isn't really that relevant in terms of what they're asked to do in this offense.

Thick thighs and ass is what generates power so a TE can anchor down in his blocks, or power through a LB or a physical DB to gain leverage and positioning. Fortson running routes and catching passes isn't what's in question here. Those are the tings he SHOULD be good at. It's everything else that's required to be a real TE is what's in question.

Not buying the Fortson hype. If he makes the team, he'll have less than 10 catches.

Kelce lined up more snaps in the slot than he did at TE last year so........

I've never seen a TE with Fortson's build. At least i can't think of any right now. Usually there's a good pro comp for most players. When there isn't, it begs the question of, "well, what IS he then?"

I'm not either and people here are getting butt hurt about it. He didnt crack the roster over Kiezer and Yelder or whatever we trotted out last year. Color me skeptical.

Nothing to do with the way Kelce plays the position. He runs routes, he positions, he catches like a TE. He has the build of a TE.

Yeah he doesn't look like a TE to me. Also sweet ball security...
