The best thing to have in life is options, and that’s exactly what this year’s group of tight ends provides for Jawon Pass – if his playmakers out wide aren’t open, the guys lined in tight are equally viable. Following a long line of studs who have thrived under Bobby Petrino offenses such as Gerald Christian, Charles Standberry, Keith Towbridge, Cole Hikutini and Gary Barnidge, this year’s group will continue to bolster Louisville’s status as Tight End U.
