And 100th in yards after catch and tackles broken.

10th all time in the NFL? Doesn't seem like he has been that productive, but hey okay, go Kyle!

Remember a few years ago when many were wanting to move on....saying his new contract was a waste... who is pounding their chest now? He's been a great pick for the Vikes.
And where did he go to college again?

There are so many athletic TEs in the league now. Rudy is not one of them. But he does have good hands. And he is usually healthy. I do wish he had more speed and could get downfield. Or maybe if he was just able to break a tackle sometimes. He reminds me a little of Jason Whitten. Although he's not nearly as good as Whitten. But he does have good hands. And he is usually healthy.

While Kyle is never going to be mistaken for Jimmy K as a blocking TE, he does do a much better job at that aspect of the position than he did early on in his career, and he is much better than most in the league at it. a true TE is very rare in this league.

Quote: @JimmyinSD said:I still think his contract was way too large and guaranteed. He dead cap amount was almost $8 million in 2014, $16 million in 2015, $10 million in 2016, and around $7 million in 2017, making it basically impossible to cut him during those years. And his yearly cap hit is around $7 million per year. He has good hands, but he is slow and for his size, he is not a great blocker and never seems to break a tackle or gain any yards after the catch. I feel that his $40 million could have been spent more wisely elsewhere, like for instance on the offensive line.

And yet I can't wait for the team to draft his replacement next yesr. Really like that kid out of Penn State in the middle rounds
