John Doucette’s game is built on dirty work, not diva stats
In the 2005 season, Memphis tight end John Doucette was valued most as a physical blocker and steady starter, with ESPN’s Blue Ribbon preview noting his biggest contribution was “as a blocker” and that he was entering his fourth year as a starter. Memphis’ own 2003 preview said he had already earned Conference USA All-Freshman honors in 2002 and was expected to remain the Tigers’ starter, which points to reliability, toughness, and early trust from the staff. If your offense wants a TE who helps the run game, protects the quarterback, and does the unglamorous stuff well, Doucette fits the bill.
