Underrated indeed. And proved nearly impossible to replace until we drafted Jason Witten in 2003.

It's still too bad LaFleur's career was derailed by injuries. He'd have never been Novacek but he could have been a solid player.
Eric Bjornson showed some ability as a pass catching TE too, but neither he or LaFleur could replace Novacek.

They thought Bjornscrub was a Novacek clone coming out of Washington. But he wasn't.

Never showed the same type of athletic ability or the savvy route running ability Novacek had, he also had a lot of untimely drops.
