Seahawks explore tight end roles and depth ahead of the season

The Seattle Seahawks are examining the various roles of tight ends on their roster ahead of the upcoming season. The tight end position includes three main types: in-line, flex/move, and hybrid. Notable examples from the Seahawks include Eric Saubert as an in-line tight end, Jimmy Graham as a flex tight end, and Robbie Ouzts as a hybrid tight end. With Brian Fleury as the new offensive coordinator, expectations are that tight ends will see increased involvement in the offense this season, potentially leading to more touchdowns and two-point conversions. Training camp and preseason games will provide further insights into these roles.
