I know you guys won't appreciate the criticism, but I haven't been as impressed about McMichael as maybe some of you have. He's got speed, he seems to run his routes well enough which is the key because its Norv's routes that are getting him open not his skills, and so far he seems like he has good hands...
But as a TE, I'm not sure he's physical enough. He seems more to me like a physical WR, rather than a gifted all-around TE. All I know from him is from the scrimmage, but he wasn't very physical after the catch in those games. I remember Troy Drayton, he'd catch that ball, turn around, and practically lift a defender over him then keep running. McMichael just seemed to run toward the sideline or go down at first contact...in a TE I want more than down at first contact. He reminds me so far of Eddie "Boo" Williams of the Saints.
