Guys I know it's a long shot but we do have someone on the roster with similar size/weight/speed as Hernandez.
In the signing thread everyone said he was closer to a TE than a WR in the pros. What's to stop him from gaining 10lbs and playing that same TE/WR position Hernandez played so perfectly.
I'm not saying he'd be as productive. Not even close. Hernandez was the best in the league at that role. I just think he may be better than a retread (Hooman, Fells) or someone more ideally suited to play Gronks role. (Ballard, Sudfield)
Obviously none of us knows until we see what BB does in training camp but that's what message boards are for.
Thoughts?
