That took a whole lot of insight on your part Larry.

I don't know how to feel about this. Have we seen him catching a lot of passes down field? Or have we seen him line up as a blocker? I know he would be a mismatch for a linebacker in space, but I don't know if he's a TE.

We haven't seen him committed to this role before either. He's been more of the gadget player dabbling in a little bit of this and a little bit of that. With his speed he could be a mismatch for safeties, as well. Given a chance to run the whole spectrum of available TE routes there's no telling what kind of impact he could have. As for that, what is a TE anymore?

Will end up being one of the best TE in the league. Excellent choice by our coaching staff

Pretty apparent (Dalton, Bortles, Book) now that new HC Allen has no interest in lining Taysom under center going forward.

Hopefully that foot heals 💯 this off season.

Playing TE at this level is a different animal.

This is great news. And we still can use Taysom in short yardage/goalline as our break-glass QB power solution.

Taysom lined up at TE the majority of the time when he wasn’t playing QB. Should be fine.

Lisfranc can be tricky.

Side note.

#7 never looked better on a player.
