2015 Position Previews: Tight Ends

After the 2014 spring football game, I recall thinking Gerald Christian would have huge season based on the way I knew Petrino likes to use his tight ends and how much Petrino seemed to emphasize him in the spring game. That didn't happen. Christian never seemed to get going once the season started, had snaps taken from him by freshman Charles Standberry, and the offensive line's struggles often meant less of a role in the passing game (and just fewer plays overall) for the tight ends. Similar to the situation at receiver, there are pieces to work with even if they're awfully green.
