Getting to know new tight ends Mitchell Henry and Arthur Lynch
Both are excited about the chance to learn in an offense that uses its tight ends as fullbacks -- and thus offers plenty of opportunities.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Tight ends will play in this Broncos offense -- and they will play a lot.
During the preseason, the Broncos' collection of tight ends -- which included the dual-position players also listed as fullbacks -- saw frequent action. On 45.6 percent of their preseason snaps, the Broncos used at least two tight ends. They moved them around; James Casey would line up in the backfield or in the slot, but sometimes he would also work at the line of scrimmage outside of a tackle.
