does everyone remember our buddy Mark Harrison? you know the guy that was a secret weapon that we were going to convert to move tight end...
well at rutgers, timmy was behind both mark and brandon coleman (who I had hope to draft)....just so that we can temper expectations on the find
that said, yes, he did put in some work in TB last year...and hopefully his game is on the up...
No offense, but pointing out players who started ahead of somebody in college is pretty meaningless.
Tom Brady sat behind Scott Dreisbach and Brian Griese.
Chandler Jones didn't play a single game as a freshman on a 3-9 Syracuse team, sitting behind his brother, Arthur, and a bunch of guys like Jared Kimmel, Anthony Perkins, Nick Santiago, and a bunch of other guys we've never heard of.
Aaron Rodgers sat behind pretty much everyone in Division 1 since he ended up at Butte Community College his first year while his dream school, FSU, started Chris Rix. The only team to offer him a chance at a walk-on scholarship, Illinois, started some guy named Jon Beutjer, and even after a record-setting season and a chance to jump to Cal, he was still behind Reggie Robertson for the first 4 games of the season before winning the starting job for good.
I'm not saying Tim Wright is going to be a Pro Bowler or a HOFer. I'm just saying what he did in college, along with who played ahead of him, is absolutely irrelevant now.
Edit: Forgot another obvious one, Matt Cassel sitting behind Matt Leinart.
