He'll have Lamar Jackson throwing to him.
One of the more "under the radar" tight ends who came from Notre Dame, he has still had a good, long career, which goes to show the label of "TE University" for Notre Dame is a very valid one.
While the article claims that he's more of a blocking TE, he had several very good receiving years in Miami.
I think he could have been drafted much earlier if our QB situation in 2017 weren't a wreck.

He's had over 30 receptions twice and never more than 35.
There's nothing wrong with being a blocking TE. It's a nice payday.
Cole Kimet used more as a receiver by the Bears. When their receiving tight end went down in the 4th qtr of a game last year Kimet really stepped up catching very productive passes including the one that tied the game late.
