Eckert’s Examinations: 2021 College TE Run Blocking Data

Continuing the series, I wanted to look at and provide data for the tight end position, at which the Pittsburgh Steelers were able to select Darnell Washington in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Today’s goal is to view how the players at the position fared as run blockers, where Washington is projected to make the biggest impact right away, following up my 2022 receiving, run blocking, and 2021 receiving articles. The data in this study looks at the 2021 season, focusing on the players who heard their names called in the draft, and one player was excluded due to Sports Info Solutions (SIS) not tracking smaller schools.
