Yeah, running with pads on is a little different, so I am curious about how he thinks that affects his speed.

I think he's young enough and from what I've heard brash enough to not give a sheet.

Playing balls-out he's also the this years candidate to most-likely-to-get-injured.

I believe Andy can go into the lab and find a niche for him as a weapon. I hope he gets a chance. Looks like Kelce's new prodigy.

I played football and rugby in college. Not sure why folks are saying this guy will be a TE. Flankers in rugby are TE equivalent. Wingers are WR / RB type players. Pads won't affect speed. His lack of HS/College play time will be the reason he doesn't succeed in the NFL. He is clearly athletic enough to play.

He'd be the smallest NFL TE I've ever seen, by a wide margin.

Also need to have him under center for the tush push.

Correct. He doesn't count against the 53 man roster or the practice squad. Which is the reason the Chiefs are giving him a shot. He doesn't take the spot of some maybe future contributor.

No way in hell. He is waaaaay too small for a TE. Listed at 194lb and is 6'4"
