Nebunwerb, Sadiq, uh, why can't any of you just be named Todd?

Um, Sadiq has been, uh, more and more intriguing.

Lining up all over the place, creating mismatches is tantalizing.

I like Sadiq because I could see it working on multiple levels.

I could see it working as an underneath guy who turns every, like think about like just a crossing route.

Like what comes to your mind if I say like tight end crossing route?

Probably like George Kittle coming across the middle, catch the ball, break a tackle,

get 14 yards on a third and six or something like that. You could see Sadiq doing that. But the other

thing is the Vikings like to do this from time to time where they run somebody down the seam, tight end, down

the scene. And Hawkinson's been good at it. Sadiq can go up and get it. There are multiple

plays on his tape from last year where it's a high pass and he's just going up and making

a play. It's a wide receiver type catch. It's just so athletic. And then even, you know, you saw it last year with Hawkinson where they ran a little out route to T.J. Hawkinson in a big moment against Cleveland. Just pop them the football. There's 11, 12 yards. You can line them up all over the place. That's true.

But I think he's a willing blocker, too.

I think he's a three down tight end. I've talked to people, whether it's in the league or if it's, you know, just other

draft analysts or whatever.

The opinions on him are all over the place.

Some people say, eh, I, you know, I just didn't see it in the

same way as with prospect XYZ and others are like, no, he checks every single box and he's going

to be the next star tight end. So I guess that kind of goes for a lot of prospects. I'm seeing the

upside in a KOC offense specifically. I think if you try to build an entire offense around a raw prospect tight end to play

this year, there would be some disappointment.
