I presume you are referencing the Sports Illustrated article (today it ismore like Sports Idiots who's writing went down hill many decade ago and now put "pretty faced fat (dare I say OBESE) girls in their swimsuit issues. The Swimsuit issues have gonna down since the days of Kathy Ireland and Elle MacPherson). I regress.

Back on topic. Stanford maybe SI's opinion as TEu but most of Stanford's guys were either 4 star home stater or high 3 star guys. Stanford benefitted by have 4 of those guys be in Jim Harbaugh's first three recruiting classes to Stanford along with QB Andrew Luck, running a pro-set offense that used TEs. Harbaugh took 4 TE recruits in 2009 alone. Using a ten year span can be a little longer for the Not For Long league for assessing NFL production titles. What have you done for me lately?
Miami has been a blue blood and a great winning program until its bag men were caught and fled town for a while. Jimmy Graham was a basketball player with great size and hands.
Personally, I could be on the starting end of a renaissance for NFL quality TEs. I like Lachey and Yelverton and Sam LaPorta seems like a steal. Shaun Beyer could get a shot in the NFL if he has a good year. I believe Iowa's TE recruiting should be excellent in 2022 with the talent level Iowa has offered.
