After becoming a wide receiver for his final year at the University of Michigan, Devin Funchess may be seeing a transition back to tight end in the NFL.
The biggest challenge for most rookies when they get to the NFL is adjusting to the speed of the game. But that task can become even more complicated when it includes learning an entirely new position.
It’s not an uncommon occurrence. In the past, there have been plenty of players that have changed positions upon their arrival in the NFL, including current the Redskins' Niles Paul, who played wide receiver for Nebraska, but switched to tight end a few years ago.
