I have not idea why people think that way. Just because a kid is big, that doesn't mean he will make a good tight end. It is not a simple position to play. Plus, I hate to break hearts but Joey looks clumsy at times out there running. He is not a smooth runner. Not like I thought he would be. He is not the Cam Newton running QB we thought he would be.

A tight end must be tough, not scared of contact and be about to run routes and catch. Who knows if he can do any of that. Im certainly not going to crown him the best/

Well I got it from back when he was a recruit when recruiting reporters at each of the three major recruiting sites said if he came out projected & recruited as a tight end he would’ve been the number one rated tight end in the class based off his work in high school with his physicality and his receiving ability when he played wide receiver in high school which he did a good bit of his first three years in high school along with running back. It’s not something I would just throw up there. Also a flex tight end is normally more of a receiving tight end a la Ephtam from Ole Miss. Not as much physicality is required from those type of tight ends. That being said, I believe if Joey did make the move and was fully committed to it he could be a very physical tight end.
