Coach Ben McAdoo said Wednesday that linebacker Mark Herzlich, who has also been practicing at tight end, is “viable” at that spot. How does Herzlich handle both roles? Well, for starters, he wears a white “offense” jersey under his blue “defense” jersey at practice.
“I take it off, put it on the ground, throw it behind where the huddle is and then go out there, do my seven-on-seven,” Herzlich said.
“Anytime you have a defensive guy and you give him an opportunity to put on a white shirt and go catch the ball,” McAdoo said, “they’re pretty excited to do it.
