True, we haven't really used the TE position honestly, as I think Harbaugh will in the future. Besides trying to be another blocker for the most part.
Jake Butt (IMO) wasn't a "true TE", but I know people want to sell recruits on his ability. He is a slot/TE when you split him out and force a safety or a linebacker to cover him. He (IMO) isn't a true TE for the simple fact that his blocking isn't pretty and in a lot of times he is either taken out of the game or split him out on a running play.
Our best "true TE" (IMO) actually walked away from the team (Asiasi) this year and went back to California.
We have had way to many guys like A.J Williams, Tyrone Wheatley Jr. (so far), Hill, Poggi, etc... The position group needs to be recruited better and also exploited on game-day.
