re: Past Tigers that left unfinished business

Nic Jacobs.
Offenses with Les Miles needed good run blocking TEs. Jacobs was a jumbo TE that was a really good run blocker. Similar to Dillon Gordon, and those guys could've played together for a couple years to be probably the best blocking TEs in the country. Both could have also transitioned to tackle later in their careers. And that actually would've probably been better for them from an NFL career perspective. Both did end up playing in the NFL, but playing tackle in college would have prepared them better for the future in my opinion.

I'm glad to see Jack Mashburn get some recognition and respect for what he does as a blocker, but Gordon and Jacobs were on another level in terms of their power as blockers. They could dominate the best D-linemen in the SEC.
