I wanted the Jets to draft him and wass ecstatic that we ended up nabbing him as an UDFA. He's got more potential than every other TE on our roster. Is he Pitts or Kittle or whoever? Probably not. But he's a guy you want to keep and develop. Especially in a year like this where that seems to be the theme of our org at the moment. I'd be very surprised if he's cut.

Yeboah is a physically gifted player at a position that we have essentially nothing at, and that’s the main reason that he has a snow balls chance in hell at making the team. Fair? Or is he a dominant badass who is definitely making the team or you have some kind of personal agenda against him? Which view is more reasonable? That's the whole point though. We're looking at pour roster and who should stick. We have a young player who has done some impressive things to get where he is now. Not the typical path. He's known as someone who puts the time and effort in which is not always the case. He has the talent, build and the ethic to become something in the NFL. That's all it is really. And when we look at our roster it makes perfect sense to keep him and put the year in to develop him. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LIJetsFan Posted August 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2021 To me Kroft, Wesco, and Yeboah are the 3 keepers. Wesco because he is our FB/TE who blocks well and had ok hands. Kroft and Yaboah because they have upside and the rest of the TE room has failed to impress in forever. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not a good blocker, and he doesn’t play on special teams. His blocking needs to develop. To me that screams practice squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd be surprised if he clears waivers if he is. If only that were true.,,, We would just need coach references. He's an athlete playing football, who (at the NFL level) has to demonstrate some inherent/natural ability at the position. If it was just about measurables or work ethic, we'd do a combine and call up trainers at the school. How does a guy like Logan Thomas switch back and forth from QB to TE? Waller?.... Why do guys like Ebron fail?... You have to be a natural at football at some point. He's not a natural receiver - and it's really hard for those guys to overcome that skill-gap - just ask the 100x C. Pattersons... There's 3 types of TEs (IMO)... all around naturals, like the guys Iowa and ND have been cranking out. The mostly blocker/jumbo TEs which are basically a thing of the past in the pros. If you look around the NFL, these guys are relegated to depth for about 1-2 years and if they can't "threaten" to catch the ball, they don't get on the field. Swing tackles are a better use of roster space. Receiving TEs.... which are basically a mix of Move/Joker TEs, AND oversized athletes pretending to be TE... The former comes in all shapes and sizes (Hernandez, Graham, Jonnu, Reed) but all share a common trait -- then are inherently football players who have a feel for manipulating LBs, finding separation, tracking the ball, and securing the catch.... The latter are just athletes who exploit matchups and broken coverages in College - especially in todays pass happy world. They get by because they're stud athletes. Which are you suggesting he is? To me, his best shot is developing as a blocking TE as he's shown some grit in that department... but that's not enough in 2021 - and that's the reason for my skepticism. The jobs for blocking TEs who run 5 yard slants are short-lived bandaides. Anyway - i'll leave it at that. Kenny - prove me wrong and I'll buy your jersey with a smile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least the point I got from it, which is stats in preseason games mean nothing. Yeboah's performance against scrubs won't save his roster spot, similarly just because Carter didn't impress in a preseason game doesn't mean he isn't making the roster. If they put Carter on the PS, he would be scooped up by another team in a second. Not to mention all reports from camp indicate that Carter will be part of a 3 headed backfield and I would bet will be a significant part of the offense starting around week 8.

You keep the youngest guy with the biggest upside and that is Yeboah. Herndon has show nothing, nor has any TE other than Kroft. Its not like we have good players at TE. It is by definition a developmental position. The X Factor guys are also eager to cut Yeboah. You have to consider the overall group and in that group Yeboah is worth keeping. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggs Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 If he doesn’t make the team it confirms preseason is what I thought it was. Meaningless. Sometimes a young team with a bad roster has to reward performance and hard work. i would keep him or put him on the practice squad unless we need his roster spot because of a trade or we pick someone up after cuts. The roster is a mess at TE and on D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
