I think Luke will be one of the steals of this draft. Completely underutilized here.
In 2022 he was TE2 behind LaPorta, and had the second most receiving yards on the team plus the most receiving TDs. In 2023, he led the team in receptions (10) and yards (131) after two games before getting hurt early in game three. Granted, the numbers weren't huge, but he was a featured part of the offense (such as it was).Another Iowa TE that we wonder why we didn't do more with while he was here?

So does being healthy.CJ Stroud throwing to him helps, that's for sure.![]()
