The New England Patriots signed former Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki in March. Now, we are beginning to get a clearer picture as to how he will be used in New England.
Gesicki tallied 32 receptions for 362 yards and five touchdowns. The tight end may have been underutilized in Miami’s offense last season with coach Mike McDaniel installing a new offense. He is just two seasons removed from a campaign that saw him record 73 receptions for 780 yards.
New reports indicate that the Patriots wanted Gesicki to be more of a receiver, as New England looks to open up the offense under offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien.
