Well to be more accurate he was near the bottom of the middle third, but basically yes.
I should point out that I didn't read the pay per view stats, I only saw someone's recap. But it was a reputable poster.

There is no doubt he could improve his blocking, but at what cost? His body type makes it difficult to get leverage. At 6'7" he is simply too tall in relation to his body weight as compared to many other TE's that are more accomplished blockers. But, it is that height and body style that make him the great receiver that he is. I would much rather see him as the average blocker that he truly is and remain the offensive weapon he truly is.
