He has the size, blocking ability, extraordinary speed, and excellent hands required to be among the best in the league.

This is why I wasn't big on drafting a TE this year. Juwan Johnson had shown flashes of a being a good TE with last years mess of an offense and Hill, though older and often banged up, is a dangerous weapon. Krull is a big kid but he did absolutely nothing last year to give me any notion that he'll be ready to contribute this year. Hopefully we'll get a winner between him and Whiteheart from Wake Forest this season.
