Yes, he's been at the position for a few years now, but tight end Niles Paul used the offseason to continue to bulk up. He's hoping it'll help improve his overall game, including blocking.
While Niles Paul had the hands and skill to remain one of the team’s top receiving targets, the converted tight end was admittedly a little bit too small against the competition when he first made the move before the 2012 season.
Going up against linebackers and linemen that were 40 to 50 pounds heavier than him, Paul knew he’d need to bulk up in order to become a better player at the position.
