Hi there Tori, I feel that the other position that people are not talking about is our tight end.
Sadly, for whatever reasons, it doesn’t seem like Kyle Pitts will deliver on his promise and high draft pick (any insight to what has happened there?), Charlie Woerner is a great, traditional, block-first tight end but after that? … We need more. What do you think?
I am actually OK with where the tight end room is right now. Woerner continues to be one of the most underrated players on this offense, and coaches believe Pitts is going to take a step in a contract year.
“I am expecting Kyle to take a big jump in Year 2 of the system, Year 2 of understanding what we are trying to do offensively, all those things that come with it,” Robinson said. “So, expecting a lot of good things from Kyle. He knows what he needs to work on, the details and some of the fundamentals, techniques, the consistency down in and down out — those are things we talk about with him, Coach (Kevin) Koger talks about with him all the time. It is those finer details and that next level that he can take as a player.
“I am pumped for Kyle. Can’t wait to get on the field with him. Its going to be a lot of fun to see his growth.”
Also, someone I would keep my eye on this offseason is UDFA signing Joshua Simon from South Carolina. To go along with players like CB Cobee Bryant, OL Joshua Grey and WR Nick Nash, I think the signing of Simon was a boost — and let’s be honest, maybe a little bit of a steal considering his production in his senior season with the Gamecocks.
Last year, Simon became the only tight end in South Carolina football history to lead the team in receptions (40), receiving yards (519) and receiving touchdowns (7) in a single season. I, for one, am curious to see if he can push for a roster spot with this team in 2025. He’s on my list of players to watch throughout rookie minicamp in a couple weeks.
