For today's kids and those who never stayed to watch Charlton Heston lead the chosen people across the Red Sea while chased by Yul Brynner - think of Chief Wiggum in that voice.

Edit never mind, went and looked at it.

Right now, he's not even a 7th round draft pick. I wish the kid all the best in the world, but they are rating players oddly.

As an OU grad, and I love my school, the teams they have played are probably not great. OU's football team is always nothing more than a decent to good MAC team and rarely play a team worthy of showing if he is a good TE.

I've watched all of OU's games this year and you are off base. They have beaten Marshall who had the best odds to win 11 games this year according to Vegas. They also should have beaten Minnesota but got hosed with a delay of game penalty when lining up for the go ahead FG as time expired when the kicker kicked the ball after Kill called an icing timeout during the run up. Heitzman has looked massively improved compared to last year and Darius Vick is absolutely forcing him the ball as he's made plays all year. This thread is filled with butthurt opinions that haven't seen him play once this year.

This is obviously a bad list. Here's an explanation from the website on how these "grades" are computed:

https://www.profootballfocus.com/about/how-we-grade/

They claim to have an actual person grading every player on every play. I assume they are crowdsourcing this labor on Amazon or some equivalent, to poor people in the third world. They should add a step where they check to see if the results are insane, and consider reevaluating their methods.

I went to Ohio University's site to catch up with Heitzman - as someone said, Ohio University doesn't really play too many teams that might give us a good insight into just how effective Heitzman could be at TE (I think he could be rather good myself), but he is their 3rd most prolific receiver in terms of total yardage thus far right now - 11 catches for 169 yards and 1 TD, averaging 42 yards per game.
