Strong kid on the field also plays with good pad level. From everything I hear he is a hard worker. I could see him moving to the O-line or playing DT at UK.

I heard (looking at a different board) that Robinson has the kind of frame that can carry around 290 to 300 pounds and that he might be moved to DT.

Anyone hear anything similar?

Thanks for the link, RV. Too, I like how Tyler appreciated the "up-front" approach of the coaching staff at Kentucky.

You may have heard that here. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Tyler 'grows' out of the TE position.

so what's wrong with 300 pound TEs if they can still run?

Nothing that I can tell but they are as scarce as hen's teeth. Remember the giant TE Arkansas had in the 7 OT game we lost. His name was Peters and he was drafted by the Bills - converted to LT and is now a consistent Pro-Bowler. He was subsequently traded to the Eagles.

Those huge agile guys are commodities valued greatly by the pros and not as TE's but pass protecting tackles. All you have to do is compare salaries to see comparitive value.
