At the conclusion of the regular season, Georgia offensive coordinator Jim Chaney saw a statistic that caught his eye.
The offensive coordinator and tight ends coach noticed that most of the passes targeted to those in his position group resulted in catches. There weren’t many opportunities for the tight ends, but the efficiency when they did present themselves went slightly unnoticed.
“It was a very high, alarming rate, a little bit,” Chaney said.
Georgia’s main contributors at tight end, Isaac Nauta and Charlie Woerner, combined for 567 yards and three touchdowns (all from Nauta, the main receiving target at the position).
