Why tight end could be the 'most important position' in lifting Panthers' offense
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady wouldn’t say that his former quarterback was right in claiming there weren’t enough two-minute and hurry-up drills in practice last season.
But Brady did indirectly support the claim of Teddy Bridgewater, who was traded to the Denver Broncos in the offseason, that tight end was an issue for the Panthers in 2020.
“The system ... I grew up in, the tight end position was the most important position on the field," Brady said during OTAs. “The matchups that they create and everything else ... it's been a point of emphasis this offseason, just trying to get those guys going in the passing game."
