Mike Gesicki fits the NFL’s prototype tight-end

The Dolphins haven’t had good luck with tight ends in recent memory. The team has signed or drafted plenty of tight ends with high expectations. They have all come and gone without leaving much of an impression, but there’s a new kid on the block that will buck that trend.

Mike Gesicki, TE from Penn State. That’s the tight end of the future. It’s not just the Dolphins’ future, but the NFL’s future. In the golden age of the quarterback, tight ends are now some of the biggest beneficiaries. QBs love the big, athletic tight ends that can move the chains and catch touchdowns in the red zone.
