[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 712677, member: 2627"] How many TD catches did Antonio Gates have in college? How many yards did he have receiving in his senior year? Here's an easier question to answer... how many football games did he play in during his college career? Sorry that's a trick question. The answer to all of them is zero. He didn't play at all in college. My point is not that Tyler has anything in common with Antonio other than both being TEs. My point is that if NFL teams think you have traits they can't coach AND that you are coachable then they do a pretty decent job of finding you. And Tyler has very good size and ran pretty well for a a guy who is 6'4"/250 (4.65), is a good blocker, and showed at UConn that he can catch the ball. He looked really good at our pro day. And he revived the TE position at GT which is not an insignificant accomplishment. I actually get the skepticism coming from a Jaguar fan. That is not in any way meant as an insult and I'm not trying to be patronizing (and if the tone of this post came out that way then I apologize, I truly didn't mean it that way). It's more a reflection of understanding what it's like to be a fan of a team where you think the coach and/or GM are terrible and don't know what they are doing. I really get that. I've felt that way for a lot of years as a fan of Washington for all of my life. So I really do get that. And I get that Tyler didn't have a ton of catches. But at least one team felt he had potential so for the moment he's a pro. And I hope he balls out!!! [/QUOTE]
