It can be difficult scouting and projecting tight ends into the NFL. Like linebackers, safeties, and running backs, there is an incredibly varied array of body types and skill sets preferred by different teams. It seems every offense favors a different style of tight end in their offense, with some looking at them as blockers first while others look for industrial sized receivers.
That being said, there are still some all around tight ends who can fit into almost any situation.
Penn State’s Pat Freiermuth is one of those tight ends, with the blend of size, athleticism, ball skills, and blocking upside to appeal to just about any offensive coordinator.
