Miami’s tight end room is a crowded one with Mike Gesicki the team’s starter, according to their first depth chart release, Durham Smythe his backup and primary blocking tight end, second year player, Hunter Long, looking to make more of an impact under new coach Mike McDaniel, and Cethan Carter, a strong contributor on special teams, all fighting for snaps in 2022.
