I'm aware that he's a million miles away from being an elite Tight End, but I was impressed by what I saw from Royal on Sunday. Even though the touchdown comprised most of his 52 yards, he didn't have any drops, picked up a few first downs, and he blocked incredibly well, especially against the pass rush. I won't judge based on one game, but could Royal possibly be less of a liability than we all thought he'd be?
Bottomline, I thought that TE would be far away the biggest weakness of the offense, but Sunday's game was certainly encouraging from Royal.
