    seeing Sterling playing with the 1's honestly wasn't a surprise, he has the most familiarity with the staff and his athleticism is the best at that spot. Good hands and speed, he seems he has the 1 up on starting gig.

    Walford been tearing it up in camp, and he's going to be a hard cut...He's also a receiving type TE

    Tomlinson seemed to be my initial "shoe in* because IMO he's the best blocker of the bunch.

    Herndon we've heard good things about but nagging injuries got him a little behind. Same can be said for Leggett who initially was said to be wowing the staff early early in the off season.

    So IMO from my couch, the current TE depth chart *seems to be*

    Sterling
    Walford
    Tomlinson
    Herndon
    Leggett

    Fat and Skinny had a race
    Up and down a pillow case
    Fat fell down and broke his face
    And that's how Skinny won the race.

    Haha, I remember that, too, but I recall it just being Fat, not Fatty. Anyway, this could go far. In all seriousness, though, 3 of our 5 TEs are dinged up.

    Five TEs. Hmmm.

    Five little monkeys jumping on the bed,
    One fell down and bumped his head,
    Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
    "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

    Four little monkeys jumping on the bed,
    One fell down and bumped his head,
    Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
    "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

    Three little monkeys jumping on the bed,
    One fell down and bumped his head,
    Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
    "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

    Two little monkeys jumping on the bed,
    One fell down and bumped his head,
    Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
    "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

    One little monkey jumping on the bed,
    He fell down and bumped his head,
    Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
    "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

    No little monkeys jumping on the bed,
    None fell down and bumped their head,
    Papa called the doctor and the doctor said,
    "Put those monkeys right to bed!"

    Oh, and I'm an armchair primatologist.

    Legget is back practicing, still expect him to take a roster spot. Maybe legget ,Herndon and sterling. Waldorf has looked ok too. So who knows.

    I may be biased here but me being a fan of ACC Football (FSU) I hope that all three of...

    Jordan Leggett out of Clemson (23 years of age).

    Chris Herndon out of Miami (22 years of age).

    Clive Walford out of Miami (26 years of age).

    All make our roster.

    Those are the 3 TE's in whom I see the most potential in along with the most pass catching ability in.

    Yeah, I was gonna say it wasn't much of a race. It seems more a matter of none of them really wanting the starting job.

    It could be a tough decision. I agree that Leggett may be on the bottom of the depth chart by now. Both Walford and Sterling have looked very good in camp and the offseason. I like that they're not making it any easier for Herndon and Leggett.

    I'm pretty sure that Walford isn't eligible for the PS. Sterling may not be, either. Herndon probably wouldn't clear waivers. Leggett might not either. With Leggett teams may have lost some interest since he didn't play last year and was on IR. Tomlinson's the best blocker but not much of a receiving threat. Will being the best blocker of the group be enough for Tomlinson to stick, or when they need a real blocking TE will they just use a backup OL?

    If I had to pick 3 today, I'm not sure that I could. Herndon has shown the most potential, so he probably would be a lock. I think I'd keep Walford since he has played very well and has the most experience. If Leggett is finally healthy and has impressed that much, I'd probably go with him since he probably has more potential (and a history of coming up big in big games) and try to sneak Sterling onto the PS if he's eligible, let Tomlinson go, and use a backup OL as a blocking TE. Since the decision doesn't have to be made today, whether Leggett can stay healthy would determine whether he makes the final roster. If he gets hurt again, I'd release him.

    I’m really confused by the post and responses on it. I thought Herndon was looking to be the best coming out of camp? Leggett I know is hurt, but I thought him and Tomlinson are looking like the backups.

    Leggett! Who cares! What kind of name is that! I guess that means he has legs! Maybe! Too Leggett to quit! What's up with them rap songs!

    I don't understand when folks quote other people and don't say anything. I'm borderline retarded, but I don't belong to social media, so perhaps that's a thing @NotSatoshiNakamoto.
