I don't understand it. I don't know why it seems like every day a new

tight end is getting in trouble a new tight end is getting hurt a new tight end is getting suspended a new tight end is getting suspended, a new tight end is getting arrested.

I don't understand it. And the data backs it up.

We've talked about the data on tight ends before.

Tight ends have the highest fragility rate of any position.

They missed more games. Tight ends missed more games in 2013 and 2014 due to injury than running backs.

so he just sort of goes through the motions, blocking,

Every single play, they are in danger.

They are operating within a swirl of violence and again the injury list

tight ends are getting busted for shooting a gun in the air for came he ran away from the cops running with a gun.

Any time your football player is running down an alley away from the cops while holding a gun,

he's not playing again. Ever. That player won't be playing again. I mean
