One third of TE lining up in slot, pro bowl at TE, drafted as a TE.

When I see a bird that*walks like a duck*and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck. ”*

Is my math incorrect or does he actually not take more snaps at slot than TE? He ran 538 routes only 268 in the slot. 134 targets 67 @ slot.

I haven't actually seen the stats. I took the break down from a Mike Triplett story.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, Graham lined up as a receiver on 67 percent of his snaps in 2013 (45 percent in the slot, 22 percent out wide, 33 percent as an in-line tight end).

I've seen that same line quoted in a couple other stories.

And this Profootballtalk article mentions stats from PFF.
