There are NFL teams that don't feature the tight end in their offense. The Los Angeles Chargers aren't one of them.
The Chargers had one of the best tight end positional groups in the NFL, led by a likely future Hall of Famer (Antonio Gates) and a budding, second-year All-Pro (Hunter Henry).
In 2017, Charger tight ends were targeted on 21.2 percent of quarterback Philip Rivers' pass attempts.
While Henry tallied 579 yards and four touchdowns on 45 receptions, Gates hauled in 30 catches for 316 yards and three scores.
Of course, the coach who presided over the Chargers' tight ends room was John McNulty, who was named as Rutgers' offensive coordinator earlier this month.
