Did this dude ever actually get remotely healthy and play more than like 1 game in a season?  Also what?  He's a blocking TE now?

 

 

Or is this not the Josh Oliver TE i'm thinking of?  The real lightweight jumbo slot receiver who was continually injured.

Who are you talking about? Jordan Reid? Brandon Oliver?

Pretty sure it's this same Josh Oliver.

Guy who seemed like he was gonna maybe be a glorified jumbo WR when the Jags drafted him.  But was literally always injured, and then got sent packing.

 

He's a blocking TE now?  Did not see that coming.  But then...never really got much of any chance to see him with Jacksonville...'cause he was never healthy.

Looks like injuries haven't been too bad the last two seasons.

Good for him.  Seems like he's found a way to build up his body to handle the rigors of the Pro game, and give him the strength to be successful as a blocker.  Always a feel good story when you see guys put in that work to succeed after a bit of a rough start.
