It wasn’t until about his third season or so that former Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Matt Spaeth really started to come into his own in terms of who he was going to be as a player, which was, by the end of his career, a top-flight blocking tight end.
And he was actually a tight end. He was even an award-winner at the position in college. Third-year Zach Gentry, who is finally getting the chance to be a significant contributor this season, had to learn the position after transitioning from quarterback. But the Steelers are rather pleased with his development.
