Is the NFL’s Multi-Tight End Revolution a Game-Changer—or Just a Fad?
Now, simply using multi tight ends doesn’t necessarily equate to a better offense. Of the top-five teams in percentage of multi-TE plays in the 2025 NFL season, only one had an overall offensive success rate greater than 45% (the Los Angeles Rams) and only two made the playoffs (the Rams and the Chicago Bears).

A newfound interest in 13 personnel (three tight ends with just one running back and one wide receiver) emerged last season, one that could signal an upcoming trend in 2026.
Last year’s 28.7% rise in plays in 13-personnel sets was a jump to 1,804 from 1,287 plays just one season earlier. Much of that surge is attributable to the Rams, who went from running just seven such plays in 2024 to a league-high 388 last season.
