Finally, after moving on to the Carolina Panthers, he became sensational. More typical of tight end picks over the last few years is Derek Brown. The New York Giants drafted the Notre Dame star in the first round in 1992. He never produced anything but hype, having a career high 17 catches for 141 yards in 1996. The answer to that is easy.
Nothing is certain.
All the statistical rankings and experts listings are great, but the games still need to be played. The beauty of the game lies in the manipulation of your roster before the season even starts. To me, in non-keeper leagues, anyone can draft a Favre, Warner, Faulk, James, Harrison, etc. Now, I know you will say, that's only one year, and you are absolutely right. However, with football players and the volatile nature of the game, nothing is certain and each year must be played one at a time.
