This might come across as a little cliche, but he was a matchup nightmare.  You couldn't cover him with any safety in the league(too physical), you couldn't cover him with a LB (too fast).  Although there were other receiving TE's before him, he became the ultimate TE receiving threat.  D coordinators had to game plan around him.  He had to be double teamed.
       He was the most physical TE to ever play.  He literally looked like the incredible hulk and used it to the fullest.  He had 3% body fat, and was gracing the covers of Mens fitness magazines as well as the nfl ones.  He as to his own admittance, didn't know how to block when he first came in the league.  He learned really fast and then had a rep of being a "slobberknocker".  Did you know that only Rice, Carter and Andre Reed had more consecutive seasons of 50 catches or more?  Yeah, wr's.  
   There are articles written with other HOF's saying he was the best TE they'd ever seen.  Here's an interesting one, and yeah I know the guy is an unabashed Sharpe fan, but he has a lot of facts to back it up;
