The Future of the Tight End Position for the Green Bay Packers

The tight end position in the NFL has undergone significant changes over the past two decades. Today, tight ends are often utilized as wide receivers, with some pundits and fans alike even questioning whether top performers like Travis Kelce should even be considered traditional tight ends. However, this debate is ultimately irrelevant. What truly matters is that having multiple playmakers on offense is always beneficial. More specifically, a dynamic, playmaking tight end can add tremendous value because of the mismatches created in the secondary, which in turn puts significant pressure on opposing defenses. And if the tight end is also an asset in the run game, even better.
