Most said he looked like the vest TE at combine and cemented his case to being the first TE selected.

I don't care how a guy looks in underwear running the gaunlet and skeletons. Remember how small Tebow looked compared to our already bad TE corps? McBride is the same size.

Then he went out and posted just ok jumps and skipped the 40 and agility drills. As I've said, athletic testing corrolates more to production at TE than any other skill position...and so far he is subpar especially for his size. We'll see what he does at the pro day.

It depends on the position. There are some positions where athleticism is vital and some where it's not as important. TE is one where athleticism is extremely important, especially straight line speed and explosion.
