This is great illustrates what you said in "The True Value of a TE" series. Those 2 pieces should be linked somehow as a "Start Here " for everyone who discovers you. You sent me the link in Bluesky. Brock Bowers would become more valueable if he could take on the Y role blocking; but is a very good F 2nd TE with all these linked receptions, using his size on DBs.

I was re-watching 2013 Auburn vs Texas A&M thriller and FB/Blocking TE specialist Jay Proesch caught a play action pass rumbling for 45 yards. Not fast, not agile , but treated as 6OL is going to lead occasionally to these opportunities.

2013 Auburn is a favorite team of mine: Smashmouth Spread Option executed at the highest level. SEC champs, lost a thriller of a national championship vs Pro Style FL state heisman winning QB Jameis Winston. The actual TE, 6'6" 262 lb CJ uzomah was listed as a WR on 2013 pages but 2012 and 2014 is a TE and is NFL for 10 seasons was on Eagles last year. I imagine he's a Y? I didn't pay close attention to 2018-19 Bengals and 2021 when he's listed as starting. Im betting it's blocking in line that kept him employed for 10 seasons. Auburn was exceptionally run heavy for a Championship contender. At least 250 yards per game, sometimes lots more. Tre Mason 1800 yards, QB Nick Marshal 1000 yards, and rotational backs plus WR sweeps put them at 4500 rush yards (!!!!!)
