Two-Tight End Sets May Become A Staple Of the Packers Offense

Using multiple tight-end sets has been a pillar of the Matt LaFleur offense with the Green Bay Packers. In 2021, the team was second in frequency (just behind the Miami Dolphins, who had Mike Gesicki as a de facto wide receiver) and third in success rate with 12 personnel. Last year, on first downs, the 12 personnel was the second most utilized by the Packers — 37% of the snaps, behind the 11 personnel, with 50%, and well ahead of the 21 personnel, with 9%.

For most of the time, the two tight ends were Robert Tonyan as a receiver and Marcedes Lewis as an extra blocker.
