A team doesn’t spend top dollar on a pair of tight ends unless the plan was to play the pair of tight ends. Indeed, the Vikings’ offense will be incorporating both T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver; they’ll join forces to (hopefully) give the Vikings a dynamic duo.
Part of the appeal of leaning into these two players is that it allows Minnesota to be unpredictable. Hockenson is 6’5”, 248 pounds and Oliver is a near identical 6’5”, 249 pounds. In other words, they each possess tremendous size and length. Both will be difficult for DBs to matchup with in coverage.
