Though he's not in line for a major role, don't bury Levine Toilolo just yet

The third-year tight end isn't a great bet for significant snaps, but he'll have a role for Atlanta.

You could be forgiven for writing off Levine Toilolo after the Falcons went out and signed a pair of free agent tight ends, especially after Toilolo's extremely disappointing 2014 season.

I wouldn't do that, though. Toilolo is probably never going to turn into a great tight end, and my projections for his 2014 season were crazily overblown, but he still has all the physical tools and opportunity he'll need to make an impact. The question is simply whether he can play better and leverage his absurd height into red zone snaps, as that remains his ideal role.
