For a countless number of years, a certain position has been a forgotten part of the Arizona Cardinals offense. While a bevy of other NFL squads have featured their tight ends in their passing attack, the team from the desert has used those individuals primarily as blockers. Throughout the existence of the Cardinals franchise, the offensive unit’s play-callers have elected to throw mostly to the wide receivers and running backs.
Things did not change much this past season with new head coach Kliff Kingsbury at the controls. Veteran Charles Clay tallied a mere 18 receptions, while Maxx Williams hauled in just 15 passes.
