Deguara fills both those roles.
Udub said look at his stats, look at all the TE’s over that time line.
And then look at how he was used and not used.

In the Rodgers/LaFleur Offense they very rarely used the roles outlined by LaFleur.
And when Deguara was used as a move HBack he scored coming out of the back field.
And when you are targeted 33 times in 21 and 15 times in 22 he was not used in the role he should have in the more traditional wide zone we expect them to utilize.
One other thing on those targets in 21 he had a 75.8 % catch percentage and 86.7% in 22.
I’m not saying he should or shouldn’t be cut. All though doing it now would be pretty stupid in my honest opinion.
Being the only TE with snaps in the hybrid Offense or for the team dumping him until he is actually used in the role he was drafted play is like cutting your nose to spite your face.
