I hope not though, because physically he is NOT a TE in the NFL. Among TEs in the NFL here's where he ranks:Height: 4th percentileWeight: 8th percentileArm length: 7th percentileHand size: 3rd percentile<a href="https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2020/04/26/packers-coach-matt-lafleur-excited-about-third-round-pick-josiah-deguara/" target="_blank">https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2020/04/26/packers-coach-matt-lafleur-excited-about-third-round-pick-josiah-deguara/</a>Quote from Matt LeFleur: "We will try and emulate some that stuff in terms of how the 49ers use (Kyle) Juszczyk,” LaFleur said.Fine, maybe he did't call him a FB, but when you say you're going to use him like another team's FB, I think he's probably closer to FB than TE. Now, when I say FB I'm not talking FB like William Henderson; FBs today catch more passes and run more routes. However, I would shocked to see him lining up on the line of scrimmage more than in the backfield.Last year, Juszcyk (who LaFleur has said Deguara will be used like), had 154 snaps as a receiver and blocked in the running game 309 times. With Deguara's physical build, usage like that is much more reasonable than an in-line TE.</blockquote>
