I know what being eligible is, I just don't know why it would bother him as a player, does it make him feel like a gimmick instead of an actual lineman?

Yes, hopefully sometime he will earn a starting spot. But I am glad we make use of him as an eligible TE and not just in goalline situations. He does far more than other backup lineman on other teams who see virtually no playing time.

Good. I don't want a guy happy being a backup...

...we've had enough of them over the last forty plus years...
