Everything you just mentioned is not as brutal as going over the middle and getting hit as a TE.


Even split out wide there are lbers that will be asked to cover him.

No logic in your thought process.

So teams frequently cover WR’s with LB’s? No. They use nickel backs or another extra DB.

Football is about personnel matchup. Taysom at wr isn't Mike Thomas at wr. They will put olbs on him.

You think if he was 10 lbs heavier he wouldn't have gotten concussed or something?

Taysom is 220lbs, Chris Cooley was 240lbs last time he played…not a huge difference. Hill will be fine as an H-back TE.



Taysom can get to 230 easily.

Taysom lost that weight to play more qb. He'll add some mass this year.

Yes, he actually said that before last season. He could probably get up to 235 and still be fast as hell.

I agree in general but I think TE is just the term being used because he usually is playing receiver from the in-line or slot position and rarely lines up outside, which is consistent with TEs. I doubt that a ton of his routes will actually be TE routes or that his duties will be exactly TE. More likely he will be asked to bulk up some and just continue to play a swiss army knife role but with more emphasis on catching passes than before.

I don’t get why he isn’t only used on 3rd and short at shotgun with the option play.
He’s absolutely almost guaranteed to pick it up every time.
