Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox has been named the team’s most underappreciated player by NFL Network analyst Cynthia Frelund.
Frelund spoke highly of Alie-Cox’s expanded role, who’s entering his fifth season within Frank Reich’s offense, writing:
“It certainly doesn’t show up in a traditional box score, but run-blocking for tight ends, especially in run-first offenses, is extremely important — and Alie-Cox ranked 12th best in the NFL in 2021, per computer vision. Alie-Cox also hauled in four touchdowns last season, which doubled his career total prior to 2021. Look for the recently re-signed veteran to be a frequent target of Matt Ryan, as the Colts’ new quarterback is at his best when working with a dominant tight end.
