Tiivistöt

Tiivistöt, also known as "tight ends" in English, 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. Tiivistöt are also responsible for catching passes from the quarterback, particularly in short-yardage situations and when the quarterback is under pressure. They are often used in the passing game to create mismatches against the defense, as they are typically larger and stronger than the defensive backs who are responsible for covering them. Tiivistöt are an important part of the offensive line, and their performance can greatly impact the success of the team. In the National Football League, the best tiivistöt are often highly sought after by teams, and they can command significant salaries.
