I have to imagine that at least one of those TE's is projected as a long-term project towards becoming an OLineman. Chris Lee? I don't know. But it's hard to imagine that Diaco wants that many TE's to stay as TE's.

On a related note, I'm hoping we make a push for that Colburn kid at RB who just got screwed over by Petrino. With no RB's in this class, it might be nice to add a last-minute 3-star RB...

I've always thought Chris Lee would end up on the OL myself. Big kid, just doesn't look like a mobile blocking/pass catching kind of tight end.

It doesn't hurt that he runs a 4.3 forty too. We can use some 4.3 speed in the backfield.

There was a lot of talk early on that he would project to be an OT when he committed so lets see.

I agree that Lee may be an offensive lineman, but he was a pretty productive tight end and has very good size. He may stay at tight end at least early on before the possible switch to tackle
