I would not say that's completely accurate. They can succeed right away in the right situation. Here's a few from last year and over the last 5 years.
Sam Laporta: 86 rec, 889 yards, 10 TDs Dalton Kincaid: 73 rec, 673 yards, 2 TDs Kyle Pitts: 68 rec, 1,026 yards, 1 TD (how the hell did he only have 1 TD?) Evan Engram: 64 rec, 722 yards, 6 TDs Noah Fant, TJ Hockenson, and Irv Smith all had pretty decent rookie years in 2019, as well. Historically, you're correct. But over the past years, that has become a position that more and more teams are focused on in college, and it's translating to better "ready to play" TEs coming into the leage.

Move TEs do seem to be a little more common than they used to. Makes me think Bowers may be more impactful as a rookie than Mayer was. But Mayer had a pretty solid season as a rookie 'traditional' TE in his own right.

Though they probably should've held onto Jacobs if they intended to feature it. Hard for me to get two worried about Zamir White/Alexander Mattison.

Honestly...I quite liked the look of Cupp in these preseason games. I know he's playing against the backups to backups, but he looked pretty decent. Certainly showed more than Irv Smith and honestly maybe Wiley. Again, level of competition matters I guess

So what’s the feel on this kid around here?
Was largely invisible during the games but the QB play was dog shit. I guess it’s still way too early. |

Feels like Andy was definitely hiding him.

A month removed from the preseason, are there any thoughts on whether or not Wiley "flashed" enough to potentially carve out a role with Rice broken?
Does he have burst, et cetera.

Well, I saw him absolutely whiff on a backside block yesterday, so he has that going for him. He's been targeted 1 time this season. Given our offensive struggles, I'm guessing we would have brought him out of hiding by now if there was something there that we could expose. Maybe they unleash Wiley Package of Greatness on MNF against the Saints?
