David Njoku

[dwreck27]

I like him a ton. FWIW, something a scout said about Njoku, as reported by Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Bob McGinn...

“I don’t know how you can take an unproductive backup guy from an average team in the first or second round,” a second scout said. “He’s going to blow the combine out and he’s a track guy. As far as a football player, he is a long ways away.”​

I don't think we even draft one because of the news about Rico

What news?. I think we will draft one, we are looking for Wittens replacement and he is retiring next year

He doesn't block.

Yes, he does. Watch the videos.

He is not a masher, but he has desire and that is a big part of it. He certainly doesn't look disinterested.

I think he's still a bit inconsistent with his blocking, but there are moments he locks his man up. This is something that can be worked on, he at least has potential to be a solid blocking TE rather than a one dimensional receiving TE.
