TEs are supposed to block and help in the run game.

 

Julius Thomas hates blocking more than Deon Sanders hated tackling.

 

Simply put, JT does not think that is what he is supposed to do.

 

JT thinks he is a very big Receiver that lines up in the slot and will be paid to catch footballs over the middle of the field.

 

You sign JT because he is a mismatch in the middle of the field where few LBers or Safeties or nickel CB can cover him.

 

Put Revis on him and maybe you shut him down, but otherwise he is a Receiving matchup nightmare for the defense.

 

That is ALL GOOD when JT is on your team.
