As Lil’Jordan Humphrey continues to craft his niche in the NFL, he’s shown that he can do a bunch of things well.
When he was at Texas, coach Tom Herman used to call Humphrey a “Swiss Army knife.”
He played running back in high school, so he has ball carrying skills. But college coaches saw his height and converted him to a receiver. At 6-foot-4 225-pounds, he can catch passes and block, but he’s not necessarily big enough to be a full-time tight end.
Although he doesn’t fit the prototype for a particular position, he’s been making plays, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said.
