And he does it as well as any TE who's ever played the game!

I wouldn't go that far. Not over the middle.

That's a good debate,

... you can't deny JG but you also have to take into consideration the way the game has changed and the role of the TE when talking about "all-time". Old school TE's like Ditka, Dave Casper, Charlie Sanders, et ... were undoubtedly 'tougher' than Graham but couldn't put up the production he does ... at least hypothetically without digging up a bunch of stats,
