That's the jump I believe Lex is trying to make, at least in this case.Are we assuming that all 6'5"-6'7" basketball players make good TE's?
He is not, but Lex apparently thinks so. To each their own.Or is this kid actually a freak athlete, like Graham?
Thomas was a decent player, decent athlete, and he was good for what he was. He gave us spark in spots where we needed him from time to time, but he wasn't an Eric Swoope-level athlete...much less Jimmy Graham.
I am willing to make that jump because a gigantic athlete is a gigantic athlete. Swoope is the most athletic of the three, I found Joe Thomas' basketball game almost reminiscent of Jimmy Graham's; big athletes who were not very good at basketball. He has basketball player athletic abilities. Enough said. He definitely could play tight end.
