As you may be well aware, the tight end position is changing in football. With a lot of colleges looking for speed and big plays, the days of the extra blocker at the end of the offensive line that could occasionally catch passes has come and gone.
In its place, teams are beginning to use more athletic tight ends that can not only clear a path for the running game, but make defenses sweat over another offensive weapon on the field. Players like Rob Gronkowski, Travis Kelce and Zach Ertz are just some of those who are making sure defensive coordinators can’t sleep at night.
