Welcome back. It's beyond the box score. I'm Dan Schneier.

Joined, as always my co-host, Jacob Gibbs.

And today we are talking about tight ends. And let me just

say one thing. This podcast, we hit sometimes on a James Cook or a George Pickens type,

but nothing in my mind. Nothing compares to what we do at the tight end position. At least that's

how I feel about us on this show,

Jacob. And I feel like tight end is our specialty. It's become a little bit of our niche in some ways. And I know you've studied this tight end class to levels and extent that I didn't even know were possible. So I'm starting to get into it as well with you. And we're going to find our Terrence Ferguson. We're going to go deeper than Ferguson though though. We're going to find like you're, you always dig a little deeper than the Terrence

Ferguson type.

So I'm excited to talk you about this tight end class because I look at it like this, Jacob. This is obviously a down year for dynasty, a down year for the rookie class. We all know that. What's going to emerge? I think what's going to emerge out of this class are some surprise contributors from the

tight-in position as the NFL continues to move in the direction of more 12 personnel and more focus on targets through the tight-end position. So I think this is really where we can find a lot of stars in the position. So I'm so excited to talk to you about this position. How are studied are you to talk about tight-end today? I'm psyched, man. I got a top 12. So working through some of the deeper names. My buddy, like he, I sat down to watch March Madness with my buddy a few weeks ago and he brought up the most random name I've ever heard at Tideon. He's like, you got to look at him. You got to look him up. I'm like, dude, there's so many tight ins in this class. Like, I'm not going to get to this guy. I watch his film. He's freaking awesome. So, yeah, it's a really deep titan class. I think there's a lot of options for potential sleepers, but it's also a very particular class where these guys are very small. So I've got data on that to share with you guys. I've got film evaluations to share as well.

So we're going to dig into 12 tight-ins today.

We're going to start at the top with Sadiq, Stowers.

We already have profiles out on a decent number of these tight-ins,

and we've got more that are going to be rolling out on the Beyond the Box Score YouTube channel.

So you can watch 10, 15 minutes if you want an individual deep dive on these players.

Today we're going to go into detail looking at comparisons.

I've got athletic comparisons, measurables for each of these tight ends.

Because I do want to contextualize the size thing is very weird.

Yeah.

Because I did, I think it could, you know, we've talked a lot about the changing

meta of the NFL with the tight of position.

I think it could go a number of different ways with some of these guys.
