Just in time for National Tight End Day, Iowa-produced tight ends will be featured around the NFL this weekend.
IOWA CITY, Iowa — As a 200-pound, short-haired wide receiver recruited to play tight end, arrived at Iowa in 2012 discovering the first step of that transition does not include catching the football. “I’ll never forget that a coach at my very first skills and drills, they’re like, ‘Hey, if you don’t learn how to run block, you can never play here,’” Kittle said. “‘And you’ll never be able to run block unless you put some weight on.’ I was like, ‘Well, I want to play, so let’s get it done.
“The only way that a guy is truly a tight end in my mind is that he plays inline,” said Iowa offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz, who coached tight ends with in 2011. “If he doesn’t play inline, then I don’t think he’s a tight end.” Advertisement Iowa junior was an elite 6-foot-6 receiver whose high-flying high school dunks became social media gold.
