Some would say innovation has a way of changing tradition.Gesicki played much better last year. I don't know that he'll ever be the traditional TE type.....I see him more as a big WR but in that role he can catch the football. My hope is he can get better in the end zone cause he can really be a mismatch there.
I agree, he will likely never be a great at blocking a good DE 1v1, but he is, potentially, a mismatch nightmare for a defense.
