I think he's going to work out. There will be a learning curve but I think he'll get it. Since we have Thomas as the starter and won't rely on him picking it up immediately to be the starter, we can have some more patience with him.

I'm excited to see him on the field.

He's also very humble and grounded. Doesn't care about a house for himself, just wants to take care of his parents and be a role model for Chilean kids who have never had a pro athlete to look up to (in football or basketball).

Check out that interview.

It's just amazing that this kid is so off the charts athletic, that he had multiple NFL teams wanting him, and he has ZERO experience playing the game.

If he can develop the mental toughness that this game requires -- dealing with the drudgery of summertime camps; getting smacked around in the trenches when he is required to block a behemoth in front of him; getting dinged up and playing through the pain -- he could be a huge surprise.

I still can't get over the fact that he is THE most athletic TE ... ever measured.

I hope he works out. It would be an awesome story, and he could be special.
