During his first three seasons as a tight end, Niles Paul’s main action was on special teams and occasional appearances in certain packages.
Last season, he stepped up when Jordan Reed went down with a hamstring injury Week 1 and proceeded to record 313 receiving yards in the first three games.
Now he’s hoping his progression leads to more reps based on his own ability.
“I want [my role] to grow, and I’m doing everything in my power so that it does grow and I get opportunities even with guys healthy,” Paul told Redskins.
