There’s a lot that goes into building the perfect complete tight end. Tight ends need to have good size to be able to match up against linebackers and safeties down the field, have great hands to secure contested catches, and they need to block well in the run game (and even in the passing game from time to time.)
When Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth talked with Evan Washburn of CBS Sports Wednesday, he was asked about what tight ends he would take to make his perfect tight end. He was brimming with confidence when Washburn asked him about who he would choose for hands.
