Question: What do all of us here on TBD have in common with Brandon Pettigrew?
Answer: We all scored 0 touchdowns for Oklahoma this past season.
That's right, zero, zilch, nil, none. In a high scoring, pass-happy offense, the "best tight end in the draft" caught zero touchdown passes last year. Doesn't that give you a little bit of pause? All physical skills and blocking abilities aside, his production at Oklahoma over 4 years is uninspiring to say the least.
112 receptions, 1,450 yards, 9 touchdowns over 4 years (I believe 3 of them as a starter)
If he's so great, why are those numbers not better? I realize he's got a reputation as a good blocker, but if that's what we're looking for, blocking tight ends are a dime a dozen in the later rounds.
Round 2, Chase Coffman.
