Speaking of TE .. didn’t Reed struggle with blocking ? I can’t remember but either he or Davis didn’t block well .. with that being said why can’t a bigger WR move to TE and have success?

I imagine playing in on the line vs outside is a huge difference. TE need to block, know hand fitting, read overloads and disguised blitzes .... I imagine it's easier for a light OL to become a TE vs a WR

But an athlete properly coached can do anything so it's always possible

I just want a 3 down TE that can block and move the chains. I don't need a bust the seam TE. Blocking, finding the soft spot and making 6 yards catches on 3rd and 5 is what I want.
