STR and VIS do effect everything a TE does, but much more so blocking than receiving. At pro levels, carrying becomes the stat that separates effective TEs vs guys that get ~ of their catches knocked loose. The bare minimum is 61.
Certainly nothing wrong with capping STR to 61, or even 68 if you want to go the tackle breaking route. Vision on the other hand, i think is less important since receiving TEs won't be blocking and don't need it for YAC pathing. I'm just saying that your going to need both agility to 68 minimum, and carrying to 61 - to be an effective TE at the highest levels of the game. Still have a long way to go before reaching those numbers so you have to prioritize you attributes
I would entirely agree. Well put.
