Blocking A Concern For Mike Gesicki
6 years agoMiami Dolphins rookie tight end Mike Gesicki missed a blitz in practice on Thursday, and his blocking continues to be a concern, as he wasn't asked to do much blitz pickup in college. However, he made up for it by catching a nice touchdown from quarterback Brock Osweiler in one-on-one drills. Gesicki has been one of the top pass-catching tight end prospects and he should start in his rookie year. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill could lean on the rookie, so he's worth a late-round pick as a TE2 with upside. If his blocking doesn't improve, though, that could hurt his playing time.
