For a rookie quarterback entering the NFL, a safety valve like a good TE is invaluable. Opposing defenses will be throwing all but the kitchen sink at the new talented Trevor. Having faster receivers won’t help if he doesn’t have the time. Having an effective blocking and fast accelerating TE like Freiermuth would be invaluable for quick dump offs under extreme pass rushes and blitzes. Once catching a pass with linebackers blitzing, Pat is tough to tackle by free safeties and cornerbacks. He can dish out some punishment. The running game and dump offs will open up the long pass routes for Clark and company. They will be the daggers.
Considering Trevor hasn’t had much experience using TEs, he better learn. This is the NFL......big time football. An effective TE will be one of his best buddies. Just look at the TEs of the top NFL teams these days. NE, KC, TB, SF, Tenn.
