The Role of a Tight End

Football is a mentally and physically demanding game.  All positions in football combine a level of mental and physical strength in order to perform at their best. 

There is no other position in football where the ability to mentally and physically perform is more challenging than that of the Tight End. No other position must learn and execute every aspect of football.  A Tight End must run block.  A Tight End must pass protect. 

A Tight End must shift and motion.  A Tight End must run great routes.  A Tight End must catch and score.  A Tight End must play special teams.  A Tight End must be the master of all trades!
