Earlier this week, Bill Belichick said Mike Gesicki is “kind of a unique player” who can present matchup problems.
At 6-foot-6, 250-pounds, Gesicki has tight end size. But he’s also been called a big receiver.
According to Doug Kyed of A to Z Sports, Gesicki’s tight end duties with the Patriots will be somewhat different than normal when it comes to the run game.
“Gesicki isn’t expected to meet with wide receivers,” Kyed wrote. “But he won’t be asked to do typical tight end blocking assignments either.'”
The most productive season of Gesicki’s career was in 2021, when he caught 73 passes for 780 yards and finished second amongst Miami Dolphins players in targets with 112.
