Super stoked about this guy! Since I’m too lazy to do some research, can anyone give me a quick breakdown of why he didn’t get drafted earlier? He seems to have everything you’d want in a TE.

Here's what Zierlein said:

I'm not worried about too much of it. We didn't draft him to replace Kelce (because it's likely nobody can or will) so why fret over some scouting remarks about the things he could have been better at in college?

I read his positive attributes and I think, "Yes, thank you, that's good enough." He's a bit on the older side, but that doesn't mean he can't improve some of that other stuff with NFL coaching, particularly with a coach like Tom Melvin.

If all we get is the guy exactly as he is in the scouting report, he's still an incredible weapon for our offense.

Thank you sir! Yeah, that makes sense. You’re right, we’re never going to “replace” Kelce. But, still excited to see what he’ll bring to the table!
