Luke is not known as a pass-catcher. As most of you know, he is the blocking tight end, arguably the best blocker on the team. According to Pro Football Focus, Stocker was tied for 11th best at the position in pass blocking, with a grade of 80.9. As a blocker, Stocker is a top, nearly elite, talent.
Stocker is more of the constant guy who will be around whether or not ASJ is healthy.
