If Peters, Houston, and Campbell are not on the team next year, that's gonna sting. Those guys are such great personalities in their own way and I'd miss them a lot.

Another guy who I love personality wise is Likely. Dude is self aware, transparent, and hungry. Gonna be a killer next year.

what a gem from a smaller school
and i completely missed on him

i thought he looked funny when he ran, he tested poorly and got ran down in the open field, saw some route nuances but not much and saw good hip sink but thought there wasnt enough juice or explosion coming out of his break to separate and that his biggest weapon was his play-strength and too much of his production was the result of deception or manufactured touches

TE is such a difficult position to succeed in as an athletic outlier (testing wise) and yet he's been a revelation

dude had a 100 yd game with a 3rd string QB against the 3 seed in a game they wanted to win

TE is super tough. But the Ravens have a pretty dang good eye for that position

That’s awesome. I’m from central Cali so Yosemite is in my backyard. Always an amazing trip. Haven’t been to the new stadium in SF so looking forward to experiencing it. I went to the Raiders new stadium week 1 last season and that place is amazing. Definitely recommend.

I'd love to go the Raiders new stadium as well.

When we were at Yosemite we stayed inside the park for three days and I'm an avid photographer, semi professional, and have sold some of my work. We had a blast and were lucky enough to be there where they had rain the previous week so the falls were flowing in a time when they would normally be dry. Think it was September.

like outrageously good lol
i think it's the toughest position to scout

they've taken 9 (10 if you include Darren Waller) TEs in the draft since 2010 - excluding likely and kolar because it's too early to say, but every single other guy other than crockett gillmore has had a decent NFL career

2009 was the last time, other than crockett gillmore, that they drafted some guy who didnt have some success in the league (even if ended up being on a different team like Waller or Maxx Williams or Hayden Hurst)

everyone was saying the same thing about Likely when he ran. I needed a couple TE's in the forum mock and watched a bunch of tape of Likely. Really liked him a lot and glad I stuck to my guns on him. He's going to have a big jump in year two.

Barring injury Hamilton is gonna become one of our top safeties in team history. Very different style than Reed though. Honestly Hamilton reminds me more of Polamalu in what he's best at. Not quite as explosive though.
