Woelk: Buffs Expect Big Things From Tight Ends

BOULDER — In the Colorado Buffaloes’ offense, tight end is a loose definition.

Need somebody to line up “in-line” and block for the running game? Someone to line up in the slot, go in motion and run a pass route over the middle? Or, how about someone to line up wide and dare a defense to try to cover him with a much smaller cornerback?

In the Colorado offense, a tight end fills all those roles.

“For a tight end, this is the type of offense you’d want to play in,” Buffs running backs/tight ends coach Klayton Adams said.
