I must square away a few things in relation to some points from my perspective...

JB did, in fact, run a 4.75 and not a 4.85.

Peyton Hendershot is not on our roster.

At TE, we have:

Travis Kelce
Noah Gray
Jared Wiley
Robert Tonyan
Jake Briningstool
Tre Watson


Wiley might start out on the PUP. We know what we have in Kelce and Gray.

Robert Tonyan was a collegiate WR who became a TE in the NFL. He's not a great blocker. Like JB, he especially sucks as an inline Y. He's gotta be a F type.

Briningstool is undersized a bit and struggles with inline blocking but is good blocking in space as an F.

Tre Watson struggled a bit as a blocker as well. He really struggled against speed/blitzing linebackers.

JB was Brugler's 10th-rated TE and played 4 years at Clemson. Watson was his 29th and played 1 year at Texas A&M and 3 at Fresno State. Most boards had JB around that ranking and Watson was everywhere but in the top 20 for most.


The question for me isn't whether or not JB can beat out Watson. It's also really not about his blocking because they all kind of suck ass at it. It's about whether he can beat Tonyan's experience. Making the 53 isn't easy, but he's got a shot.

Meh I'm not really invested. I guess I just felt like stirring the pot.
