Is the NFL’s Multi-Tight End Revolution a Game-Changer—or Just a Fad?
Why are teams doing this more? Because adding a second or third tight end to the field at the expense of extra wide receivers forces a defense into a compromised position. If the defense chooses incorrectly between a run or a pass, it can be exploited because of the size difference required to cover a tight end as a blocker and/or as a receiver.
It also forces defensive coordinators to think more strategically about their personnel. Bigger defenders are better suited to engage with tight ends near the line of scrimmage, but smaller players are vulnerable to blocks and pass-catching mismatches.
