In the spring of 2017, I stupidly volunteered to preview a tight end group whose only stat was 1⁄2 a tackle for which one of them had been credited on a kickoff. I joked anyone catching a pass that season would be making their first career reception. I referenced the “Who are these f*ckin’ guys??” scene in Major League.
In reality, it played out decently for the group. Tyler Hoppes stepped up to make 34 receptions, Jack Stoll saw some action early in his solid career and Austin Allen arrived on campus to start adding to his 6’8” 210 lb frame.
