Fantasy football stud for years, I thank him for his contributions
Agree. And for some reason you could frequently find him on waivers. Probably one of the more underappreciated players in fantasy. Dude just scored TDs. Big Boy too who always played. Did he ever miss time???

Consummate professional who overcame some challenging family issues growing up that he spoke about candidly. Productivity declined the last couple of years so probably a good time to move on to a nice opportunity. No idea if he will be good in this role.

O thank the Lord.:pray: Guy didn't gain a ton of yards. But when you had them at 3rd and whatever, he usually got that whatever plus one yard. Guy just knew how to find the soft spot a yard past the markers.

Definitely HOF but not sure about 1st ballot. Could be in same class as Antonio Gates (I think Gates is a little better) and close to some others (Gonzalez, Gronk) so the view of TE's is evolving. It's ridiculous how solid and steady of a player he's been for a long time - made it look so easy to get open.

Umm... 4th most receptions all time in the NFL. Lock first time ballot. Behind Rice, Gonzalez and Fitzgerald.

He looked like the old skool Cowboy prototype - had the name too. You could picture him with Staubach and Lilly

Bill Parcells. Didn't know that.
