“Even though all coaches would like to have receivers with great speed and quickness, there is a place for the receiver who, lacking speed, makes up for it with precise pattern execution, complete focus on the ball when it is thrown his way, and the ability to get away from defensive players of to find the hole between zone coverages.”

“Because of his responsibilities in blocking defensive linemen and linebackers, the tight end must have the size to get the job accomplished. He also must have the same ability as a wide receiver to run accurate pass patterns, to get open, and to make the catch.”
