He's a big guy, that can be an adequate blocker. You look around the league and there are a lot of tight ends that are ex-receivers or ex-basketball players who are playing at a high level.

I remember the day before the surgery, I was walking down the hall with a guy from a premiere league over there,

He's a big lad with a real physical presence and we feel he's got potential.

Losing a guy like that ? it's tough. He's a potential most valuable player in the league if he's healthy. He's definitely our most valuable player.

Part of why Tony is so hard to tackle is that he's a big guy and you don't know what to expect. Sometimes he'll make a move and go by you or sometimes he'll try to run you over. As a defender, he keeps you guessing. I guess I have to accept being run over sometimes.

This guy is a gazelle. And he's so big and strong they sometimes put him at tight end.
