Career high for receptions the past two weeks. Leads the league in receptions for a TE. Also now holds the franchise record for receiving yards and receptions in a season for a TE.

I remember when he first got here and everyone underestimated him because he could never catch the ball and was never reliable. Now he's the opposite. He's matured tremendously. 

We've gotta get this guy to a Pro Bowl.

Always been a Greg fan.. I was surprised when we got him. Best thing about him is his mental game. He WANTS it.. Those are the type of players that win big games. He helps the other guys get into that tough mindset of nothing is going to stop me I'm going to score.

 

Im sure Greg is frusterated as hell 80 percent of the time with playcalls and things on the team in general of conservative over lords/fans. 

 

Really hope he gets into the pro bowl. If the media can hop the fug off manziel for a fuging second.
