DeKALB — In today’s football climate where spreading the field, getting fast guys out in space and letting them do work is the norm, the tight end position is one that is becoming expendable.
In most offenses, a tight end is there for blocking situations, and maybe they get a bone or two thrown their way on occasion.
That’s not what’s happening with the Huskies, as tight ends Daniel Crawford and Mitchell Brinkman have become huge pieces of the offense. In fact, Crawford, a redshirt senior, and Brinkman, a redshirt junior, have become one of the more prolific tight-end tandems in the nation.
