You might want to try that opinion again.

Early in the 1996 season both Mili and Lewis were getting a ton of reps. By late season, Mili had snagged the majority of reps and was a beast. The offense never fully recovered after Mili went down, though Lewis did his best to fill in.

Mili had 46 catches for 692 yards in an injury shortened season. Lewis had 37 for 420.

Lewis had the better pro career, but Mili was the man in college.

Itula Mili considered the #1 tight end in Seahawks history

Without divluging any specifics I will just say that

He's likely the best to ever play for BYU.

you may want to differentiate between best and most gifted

That's a stretch.

6/12/19 12:12pm

Who would you put ahead of him?

Belboz

6/12/19 12:16pm

Well he didn't have the numbers to back it up, and even being on

6/12/19 12:25pm

I didn't write that he was the best, but that he might have been the best.

You said he's likely the best to ever play for BYU. It's right there.

6/12/19 12:32pm

Likely or possibly, but not definitely. He's in the upper tier. I put him #1

Belboz

That's not all I put into it, but it has to play a role, yes.

6/12/19 1:34pm

I judge Mili based on his performance rather than merely catch totals.

Belboz

6/12/19 1:49pm

He wasn't even the best tight end on that team. Chad Lewis was better.

I don't think it was really too close. Lewis was very good, but Mili was elite.

Belboz

6/12/19 12:16pm

Mili also got drafted with an ACL tear; Lewis went undrafted healthy

and the BYU offense took a serious hit after Mili's injury.

Belboz

6/12/19 12:22pm

For what it's worth, here's my perspective: I was a trainer for Chad and Itula

I'm not sure how that correlates to actual production on the field.

6/12/19 12:30pm

You don’t know how showing leadership and inspiring and uniting a team

And the pro career turned out how it did because of that injury.
