I just hope that he is to brady what clark is to manning.
Mills has the upside of some of the best players in the league. He could be as good as Alstott and Larry Centers in his career but he could also be as bad as Fred McCrary or other miserable failures.
I expect Mills to be a decent addition to the offense next year. At least be a blocking FB/ catching RB/FB coming out of the backfield.
Forget the TE thing, he's built in the mold of more of a FB/RB hybrid than a full time TE.
He's a great player with a great attitude and last year in TC he showed flashes of what he can do for this team.
I just hope those flashes have developed enough for him to make the 53.
yeah, like BOR and other said, primarily on ST. He will probably replace Don Davis. As far as on offense ... he will probably get some reps coming out of the backfield as the FB, or in the slot.
The starting FB is Evans.
And as of yet, Pass is still a FA I believe.
Those are some lofty expectations for a 4th rounder out of Tulsa. Remember, Clark was clear number one TE of his class. Anything we get out of Mills next season should be viewed as a bonus.
Actually see him as Pass' s replacement
....
I think that he sits at a key crossroads on the roster. If the Pats really like what they see in him, it reduces the incremental value to the team of a RB/FB/HB type like Brian Leonard, AND of a pass-catching TE.
In terms of numbers, yes, Mills could displace Pass on the roster, but Mills doesn't really fulfill the same role as Pass.
