It's safe to say Mayer hasn't lived up to the billing yet. He was considered a good value pick at the top of the second round but has never amassed more than 350 yards in a season and has been inconsistent as a blocker... this feels like the 'now or never' type of season for the Notre Dame product, where he's looking to prove he can be a valuable second tight end in Klint Kubiak's 12-personnel-heavy offense.
