And, you know, my visit with him when he was here was extremely impressed by football knowledge, makeup, everything.

very mature.

And to me, it's not we're getting a rookie.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

We're getting a guy that's a little bit more of a seasoned player, which really is not uncommon for those Iowa linemen.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

So I think he's going to fall kind of next in line for a really good program the next guy out.

How quickly can he be ready to play at this level?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Time will tell.

And he understands that

Just like with everyone else, we're looking to create competition and consistency day after day and building trust, not only with Caleb and the other quarterbacks, but within that offensive line room and then obviously with the coaching staff.

So it's just a matter of time to build trust.

There were a number of really good players coming out this year, and we were fortunate to get one that we feel really highly about that can contribute run game, pass pro, catching down the field.

We feel like we got one of the more complete tight ends that this draft had to offer, but

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

In regards to big picture and just where the league is going, obviously teams have had success with the two tight end, three tight end sets.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Things kind of always go full circle, it seems like.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

And it wasn't that long ago that three receiver sets were kind of the norm, and now it seems to be transition on over a little bit more.

But I think the more you can โ€“

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Look to attack the defense, whether it's you want to give them a base defense or you feel comfortable competing against them when they're in their sub defenses.

It's just the flexibility that tight ends give you.
