Every NFL offense can use a big, athletic tight end.
For a long time, “Pro Style” offenses valued tight ends for their blocking prowess first and their receiving upside second. Tight ends were often more likely to be built like smaller offensive tackles than oversized receivers, and their best ability with the ball in their hands was to be a safety blanket for the quarterback on third downs.
That’s all changed and tight ends are considered full-fledged offensive weapons, but size is still important for many teams.
Virginia’s Jelani Woods, a quarterback turned tight end, has size in spades.
