I've heard some suggesting that Big B is going to be in trouble with the Packers for this, as supposedly they don't care if you film/post individual drills, but they don't want you filming/posting full team plays.
Wicks: That's what happens when a QB throws the ball over the middle against a real thumper, QB supposedly lead him into S Gaines which has the nickname "Thump" for a reason. And Wicks got a concussion for it.
Musgrave is a very large WR, he's not a blocker, he can go through the motions and look like he has good techniques, but I've never actually seen him execute it smoothly in a game scenario. Also, lots of TEs will tell you, that since the spread offense took over college football, and coaches realized they can't coach everything with the time available, most college teams don't truly teach the TEs to block anymore, at least not at an NFL quality, it's all about the passing game.
TE Lewis: In the NFL it's all about the passing game too, just ask the RBs complaining that some WR3 are being paid more than RB1. And in the last 5 years, Lewis has 582 receiving yards, or about 116.4 yards per year. Yes Lewis' blocking at times is elite, but couldn't you put your #6 OL there is get about the same production? Maybe even better blocking. Also, I forget if it was run or pass blocking, but one of those, Ryan Taylor was scoring similar grades to Lewis on, but the other Lewis was clearly ahead of all Packers TEs on (but Taylor was closest).
Vet FA: Packers have been saying the youngster need reps, but they're keeping their eye open for the right vet, right price, right time, etc etc. Most have been assuming this towards WR (which I believe it was Gute whom said at the Combine, they want a veteran mind in the locker room for guys to bounce mental idea off of, as sometimes players will go to a vet instead of a coach, and also maybe follow a vet in preparation, or not partying, etc etc. And a few have taken that towards K Crosby, and wondering if he might be back. But I wonder if that could apply to Lewis or not.
Currently Reed is looking like the clear #3 WR, though still early.
Rookie TE's have the most thrown at them than any other position except QB.

But yes, TEs have to learn it all, WR and OL work, and sometimes RB if they're used as an H-back.
