LOL. The Njokeman is an absolute physical freak. And he's a very willing and physical blocker. On top of that, you don't draft Njoku to block any more than you would Ebron or Graham or any other freakish pass catching threat at TE. He'll be a first round pick.No way either guy stays. Enjoy this season.
Njoku needs a big season, like 700+ yards and 5 TDs, to even consider the draft. His blocking isn't up-to-par and he doesn't have the body of a prototypical TE, yet.
I dont see how Njoku even considers leaving. Hes got potential, but what has he shown? With our weapons, I dont expect him to put up crazy numbers this year. He stays. Aqm is definitely gone. Kool is going to turn him into the best end in the country this year. Only one i dont know about is Brad. No idea if hel stay or go
No way either guy stays. Enjoy this season.
I think Brad might stay. He said he was. Money doesn't seem to be big issue with family. Might come down to what team it looks like he would go too -- kid is smart. If team balls out and we make the playoffs, his stock might be too high for him to risk staying.

Guy's smart. Yeah, he can go early and pick up a good check, but if he puts in another year, hones and polishes his skills under Richt, his numbers will be stellar, and that means with the maturity and enhanced skills of one more year, he'll get a much, much better check starting year one.
Was 6'8 and played around 245 lbs...He was a basketball player masquerading as a TE..No way either guy stays. Enjoy this season.

Jimmy Graham says hi. Basically the same player.
Jimmy was 6'6 260 lbs and had the biggest hands at the Combine. Njoku still has that big WR/TE body is all I'm saying.
Jake Butt and OJ Howard are considered the top 2 Tight ends coming into the season. Jake Butt averaged about 12 yards per catch, OJ Howard 15 yards per catch. Njoku 17 yards per catch. Also OJ Howard's numbers are really only that good because of his monster national championship game, exclude that game he's been pedestrian.
