Ron Rivera and Eric Bieniemy have been high on Washington’s tight end position group all off-season. Rivera mentioned that the position group had “vastly improved,” primarily due to the development of the younger players. Bieniemy, in his first season as the Commanders offensive coordinator, has an offense that is very friendly to its tight ends. For him, the tight ends have “stood out for all the right reasons,” and he likes the depth of the position.
It depends on who you ask if Washington’s tight ends are overrated or underrated. Locally, it is easy to understand why their tight ends are underrated, mainly because the position group was severely underutilized last season.
