Tightheads

Tightheads, also known as tight-end tight ends or simply tight ends, are a position in American football. They are typically the largest and strongest players on the offensive line, and their primary role is to block for the quarterback and other offensive players. Tightheads are often used to line up in the backfield, directly behind the offensive line, and are responsible for catching passes from the quarterback. They are also used to block for running plays, and can be effective receivers in the passing game. Tightheads are typically recruited from high school and college football programs, and are often drafted in the later rounds of the NFL draft. They are an important part of the offensive line, and their performance can greatly impact the success of the team.
