Devin Asiasi and Dalton Keene are the future. But for now, Ryan Izzo is the main attraction at tight end for the New England Patriots.
Through two games, Izzo has been on the field for all but three of New England’s 136 offensive snaps (97.8 percent). He’s the only tight end to receive a target from quarterback Cam Newton, catching three of four for 44 yards.
It’s been quite a change for the 2018 seventh-round draft pick, who, after spending his entire rookie year on injured reserve, was exiled to the inactive list after six uninspiring appearances last season.
