Ryan Hewitt was used as a tight end for most of the year. He is listed as a fullback on the official roster, but was mainly a tight end. He was used mainly after Jack Doyle went down and Eric Ebron and Erik Swoope were hurting. And now he is a free agent.
Hewitt did appear in 12 games this season, mostly as a blocker. If he was in the game, there was a good chance it was about to be a run play. He only caught one ball all season long, and it was for a one yard touchdown against the Titans in the final game of the year.
