I almost mentioned Stoneburner, but checked and he was around 240lbs, but his speed was crazy, he was badly under utilized!Good point. The comparisons will come with guys like Gee (and Jake Stoneburner) who start out at WR size but have a frame that just begs for more weight.
As Bill Lucas alluded to below, the difference is Gee was having to restrict his diet to maintain that 210 lb frame. Naturally, it could get bigger, but he had been working to stay in 210 lb range.
By not restricting his diet, he is going to put weight on immediately.
Obviously, I’m sure Kyle Pitts success has had an influence on this. I think Gee will likely split time between end of formation and being split out. I hope Day and Wilson are able to incorporate his skill set into offense.
Good points, how these kids' bodies mature is something that us fans have no clue about until we're informed. And I'm sure seeing all of the love for Pitts had to be eye opening. But the staff needs to put Scott in positions to actually touch the ball, in order for those comparisons to hold water. Ruckert is really the only TE that we've actively used in the offense. And how he's used this year should bode well for Scott's future at TE. Because I doubt they're bringing him to the TE room to primarily block. He's being brought in to be an offensive weapon/mismatch.
