Why has FSU never created a TE worth anything in the NFL?

 

Should that mean you don't even look at Nick O'Leary?  (I wouldn't draft O'Leary because I think he's not athletic or big/strong enough, but I think as a late round pick he is a solid player)

 

I think FSU has some really good TEs on their roster now.  In a couple of years, should we just ignore those TEs?  After all, FSU has never produced a good TE in the league, right?

The premise behind your question is flawed.

 

Orson Mobley went to FSU and was a decent blocking TE.  The Bills also drafted Lonnie Johnson in the 2nd round in 1994.  He had a good career.  http://www.pro-football-reference.com/pl...hnLo00.htm

 

But even if you exclude them from consideration, that might be a knock against O'Leary if FSU did not produce TEs.

 

Let me turn this around.

 

Suppose the Univ. Miami went from a pro style offense they have typically employed since the 1980s, and implemented the wishbone.

 

Would you be more or less inclined to look at Miami QBs?
