Little video from the program highlighting the tight end position.
Pretty standard breakdown of the position from Penn State as well that I've linked, but one interesting addition is this comment from new tight ends coach Ricky Rahne:
"I really like this group. It is a young group, but they are all working really hard. I think one thing about it is we've got guys who can make some plays down the field, but we've got guys who can be really effective blocking in the run game. That gives our offense a great opportunity to put a defense in conflict. I'm excited to watch them the rest of the spring. They had a great winter period and were really locked in. I have enjoyed coaching all of them. Their role in the offense is a really cool deal because they have such a variety of things to do. They are equally involved in the run and in the pass and in pass protection. They've got to kind of know a little bit of everything. I think that is awesome. There is nothing repetitive each day at practice. Every day, they are learning something new and mastering a different skill. I think that makes it fun to play in an offense like this."
