Just bumped the Asiasi thread from page 2, though it's still running slightly off-topic...
It shows he needs a nickname as worthy as Rambo.
For some senior moment I thought Devin sounded Italian because they compared AK and Gronk to them.

Anyone else worried that DK’s playing style doesn’t lend itself to the NFL? He needs to learn to protect his body against bigger, stronger, faster players.
Yep...I still picture Keene as more of a traditional TE than as a Cordarrelle Patterson/Aaron Hernandez-type of chess piece, though I also don't feel he's ready to ass-ume Gronk or Dwayne Allen-type of in-line, early-down/short-yardage blocking duties either...He plays football like a tight end. He is not a running back that will carry the ball 25 times a game. He is safer blocking a wide 9 DE /OLB than in the trenches.
Have you watched his film? That’s exactly what he is; a Swiss Army knife type player. He doesn’t do anything at an elite level, but does everything that he’s asked to do well enough. Obviously, we’ll need to see it at the NFL level.Yep...I still picture Keene as more of a traditional TE than as a Cordarrelle Patterson/Aaron Hernandez-type of chess piece, though I also don't feel he's ready to ass-ume Gronk or Dwayne Allen-type of in-line, early-down/short-yardage blocking duties either...
He's not running sweeps or quick-hitters or anything else in the NFL...He's going to catch passes & block like, you know, Tight Ends do...Have you watched his film?

Keene looks like a JAG and has JAG numbers,
Kittle had JAG numbers (in college) but looked like an elite athlete. Like I mentioned before, the guy is as fast (if not faster) as our 1st rd bust of a WR.
If BB had drafted Kittle, you would have called him a workout warrior and would have posted "If he was actually good at football, they would have used him more. Another wasted pick by Belichick". Douches gonna douche.
Terrible example. I am from Iowa so I was well aware of the elite athleticism Kittle possessed for the TE position, despite his limited production. Dalton Keene is not that type of athlete.
To counter your point...I am optimistic with Asiasi. In the limited video there is on him, you see him constantly beating defenders in man coverage, and it looks fairly easy to him. Contrast that with the limited video on Keene. You simply don't see DK doing that. He'll sneak out into the flat, find a soft spot in a zone or he'll be completely left alone. He seems like a high effort guy, but a very limited player.

So you’ve consistently called DK a jag but have limited film to make this assessment? I mean you could’ve just went the other way on your Asiasi take and said I’m not optimistic on DK based on limited film but you decided to take it further than that.
I did, but I always preferred and focused on one specific non-team sport.
Oh, you are from Iowa. That explains a lot of things, and may add to the speculation by others (surprisingly not me) that you are not really a Pats fan. Can you screenshot some of your posts from 2017, demonstrating that you pounded the table for the Pats to draft Kittle?

This means:
A. Not athletic.
B. Dislike by teammates (just like you are disliked here).
C. Both A and B.
Show me a clip of DK beating a defender in man. If you can find 3, I'll be shocked. Same complaint I have with Harry.
Patriots "great" Elandon Roberts with the G capitalized...LOL...
