TEs of course usually get lost in the mix, a team could have an excellent one and rarely feature him, he blocks well, he catches the occasional, and he's actually very good but hardly noticed.  I'm hearing UGA is going to feature Bowers more often in the run game this year.  He did pretty well last year with some "jet sweeps" etc., the might line him up in the backfield instead of slot or end of the line more, maybe.  They are a bit light on RBs.

I think "we" including me can be overly influenced by a handful of great plays and overlook the yoeman work they may do play after play blocking.

Who are some TEs that may or may not have gotten any All-American love that you recall being really great?

This guy doesn't fall enough under the radar of your criteria, but I always liked Maryland's Vernon Davis (2003-05). A consensus All-American in 2005 followed by a long career in the NFL, mostly with the 49ers to include two Pro-Bowl selections.
