Sounds like the exact same player as Tom Crabtree. Known more for his blocking and ST ability than his receiving skills.
I did like the reminder at the end of the article that GB has only had 2 losing seasons in 21 years!

Both at the hands of Thompson. #ROTTT
definitely worth a second chance
quote:Mulligan became the first Mainer to score a touchdown in the NFL back in September.
The marketing opportunities in Maine alone are mind boggling.

grades out pretty well on PFF. solid run blocker.
Must mean Finley is on his way out probably in a deal for Joe Thomas.
I just hope his Touchdown dance is the Steam Shovel

@BobMcGinn: Matt Mulligan is exactly the kind of base-blocking, big-body TE that Mike McCarthy hasn't wanted for yrs. Start of getting bigger, tougher.
@BobMcGinn: Mulligan (6-4, 260) is same ht. as Crabtree but 15 lbs. heavier. Runs just 4.9. He's capable of blocking DEs at point for run game.

Me likey.

Hasn't wanted or has wanted?

From the article:
Mulligan, 28, possesses the big-boned body type that has been of little interest for coach Mike McCarthy, who since Franks has collected lean, receiving-type tight ends.
So he'll bring Mulligan in to block and then send him out in the pattern. McCarthy just can't help himself.
Quarless. 6'4" 256.
Quote from MM regarding Quarless at the combine in February,
Doesn't mean Quarless is 100% healed and ready to go, but I wouldn't classify him as a lean receiving type of TE either. He's not afraid to take on a DE. I don't get the "type that has been of little interest to MM" from Bob. Quarless would be firmly established as the #2 guy without the injury.

McGinn trying to 
? Can't be...
Campen is going to make him into the new LT.
Not a splash but seems like a solid guy, and only 28.
Packers assigned him number 85...
Disrespectful... I'm outraged!!!
Dead to me.
Watching Alabama highlights from 2012, You notice the following:
1. Alabama runs a close version of U-71. Only difference is 2 WR's weakside, 2 TE's and no FB. They run this set a lot.
2. TE Mike Williams might have opened up as many holes as any OL at Bama. The guy can block.
3. Barrett Jones has no shot when a big DT is lined up on his nose. Kwame Geathers moved him around like a throw pillow in the SEC Championship game. Tough to watch.
4. Chance Warmack is better than advertised. That guy can get on a LB FAST and then bury him!. Fluker... run behind him, but don't depend on him to pass protect without help.
Back on point, I see Mulligan as a preemtive move by TT knowing he wanted Lacy all along and then run a version of 2 TE's with Jones, and Jordy or Cobb weakside. A slighty modified version of U-71.
You line up Finley and Mulligan together and you force a safety down out of cover two. That means either Jones or Cobb (or Jordy) is seeing single coverage.
AR is reading the S. Stay's deep it's going to Lacy (Finley HAS to block) behind Sitton and Bulaga, S moves down it's either Lacy, PA and Rodgers finds the single coverage, or Finley peels off and has single coverage against a S. Those are three pretty good options.
Would not surprise me at all to see GB run a U-71 version of smashmouth with Lacy and exploit out of that and I think Mulligan plays a big roll in that.

Nice outline Chilli... If that plays out I'd think that is another nod that Kuhn has little chance of sticking this year under his current deal.
Add one more TE to the mix, a guy that H5 commented on earlier
Brandon Bostick 6-3 and now up to 260 and learning how to block better
http://m.packers.com/news/head...6-9e5a-581e1efd11dc/
"I know the offense. I've been in the offense for a year now," Bostick said following one of his recent offseason workouts. "I've gotten stronger. My blocking has improved, and I'm still working daily on that. I'm ready to make the leap to the 53 this year."
Mulligan, Quarless, Bostick add some beef.

But does he tweet?
I don't care if Crabtree is gone. I'm still going to watch him on Twitter. Dude's friggin' hilarious.
