I’m getting sold on Klare putting up all time TE numbers this season. Savage move to add him to the roster. He’s already a top end talent and mismatch against LBs but he’s lining up with the best WR room in CFB. This is going to be filthy cheat code level. This is going to be so much fun to watch.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Jeremiah Smith became the sports car driver Marotti attached to Klare’s hip in winter and summer workouts.
“When he first got here, just working out with him in the offseason, he didn't really have it in him, I should say,” Smith said on Wednesday. “But now he does. Coach Mick put me with him, so I had to take care of him. But Max has definitely taken that step on and off the field. And I'm very proud of him, of the things he's doing in this offense this year.”
Transitioning from Boilermaker to Buckeye and the shift in expectations that accompanied it has been a long process for Klare, but fresh off his most productive game in scarlet and gray, he’s found his lane and started attacking the season full-throttle.
“I think I've improved a lot,” Klare said. “Coach Key (Bailey), Coach Hinton, Coach Wendy (Laurent), working on my blocking every day, working on my route running. Just being able to learn from guys like Will (Kacmarek) and Bennett (Christian). It's been great help to me, and just wanna keep continuing to build on that for sure.”
It’s clear from Klare’s comments this offseason and Smith’s comments recently that going from West Lafayette to Columbus required some work. Klare was a star at Purdue, far and away leading the Boilermakers in receptions (51), receiving yards (685) and receiving touchdowns (four). But a physical edge needed to be added.
“I don't wanna say he wasn't a dog, but – (laughs),” Smith said. “Coach Mick put him with me, so that means he trusts me to get him right and make him a dog, so that's what happens.”
