He was not the best TE in the NFL but he was a great blocker and a very good receiver. No one is looking at certain value that the smaller schools possesses. People have their eyes trained more on Fred Davis because he went to USC or on Jimmy Graham because he played for the "U". The tight ends at Norfolk State, Howard, Grambling, or a losing program like Rice University would appear more under the radar. Fans/people are not familiar with these players and wouldn't be familiar with them unless there was a program about them on ESPN 2 or something.

I don't know whether or not you understand what I'm trying to convey here.

Can somebody help me out here? I'm totally lost
