Welcome to Mizzou, where the tight ends are known for their pass-catching and not so much for their blocking.
This era of Mizzou football has been known for its tight ends dating back to 2005 when Martin Rucker and Chase Coffman burst on the scene to produce more than 1,000 yards receiving as Chase Daniel’s leading pass-catchers.
That was only the beginning. It evolved from there. Whether it was Rucker, Coffman, Albert Okwuegbunam or so many in between, the Tigers have been known for tight ends who didn’t serve the role of the prototypical “pro-style” tight end.
