HoosierCat Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 I saw this on nfl.com and said, there's our TE (/G/OT/C)… FAST TIMES AT RCA DOMEThere were really good times. In the first group, of offensive linemen Chris Chester from Oklahoma, who is a multiple position guy (all along the line and tight end), ran the 40 in 4.84 seconds while listed at 6-3 3/8 and 303 pounds. Nick Mangold, a center from Ohio State -- 6-3 5/8, 300 -- ran his 40 in 5.03.Given that our TE is just an extra offensive lineman on 99% of plays, hey, what the heck.

kingwilly Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 THis is you prototypical ML guy. Lots of talent, can play several position and does whatever is asked. Even if this guys is a career back-up, he can be used so many ways (even FB, long-snapper, return teams).If he shows some hands and agility, his overall value will skyrocket.

The_Next_Big_Thing Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 I like him, but then again that's because I see our tight ends as offensive linemen, not guys to stretch the field, AND I want us to wait for a TE on day 2.
