Remember when that TE class was considered by some as the greatest of all time? Four guys with first round grades, three ended up going in round one, another couple in round two. 14 TEs drafted and a decent amount of hype around most of them. Evan Engram and his average of ~560 yards a year has been by far the most productive of the guys from the first two days. However, a lot of the day three guys were viewed as quality starters or coverage mismatches entering the NFL and George Kittle was one of them.

I had little faith in him. He had his opportunity to ball out with Brady once Gronk was injured and failed. Good reclamation project to take on, but I was never really optimistic.

Think that's pretty much a yes - Hurst was another guy who was touted coming out, but never even scratched the surface of that hype in Baltimore and Atlanta.

He wasn’t terribly impressive in college, didn’t show up to most games and exploded in bowl games and was on everyone’s radars. His career has gone exactly as I expected it to. To be fair, Saban went on record saying he regret not utilizing him more in the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts Hurst has looked great in camp and looks to be the best TE we’ve had since Eifert. Howard is a depth signing, as we have a few guys dealing with injuries, and he’s a bargain at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need OJH for depth as a blocker who can occasionally get open as an outlet receiver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late bloomer guy, with his baseball career - good to know he's improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been outperformed and overshadowed by all-pros (or future all-pros) since he was drafted. First by Mark Andrews in Baltimore, then by Kyle Pitts in Atlanta. He gets a chance to lead our TE room this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
