But he isn't going to be our number 1 option this year at TE anyway and that will help him too

He didn't have any problems in the Senior Bowl going against all the best talent, so I don't think it's fair to say he looked good only because of weak competition.

He was a QB/CB coming out of HS, so he didn't have much of chance to be recruited highly. He made the transition to TE in week 7 of practice in Dayton - which he had suggested to the coaching staff.

One could say he had to be more determined because he didn't receive any financial assistance in athletics.

Who knows, I'm excited, and I like the draft as a whole.
