General manager Phil Emery also has given Offensive Coordinator Mike Tice a tight end who should be able to outsprint the other tight ends on the team. The rookie-camp performance of fourth-round pick Evan Rodriguez has been a little uneven, but he has shown a dynamic quality. At 6-2, 239 pounds, he might be the closest thing to a waterbug-style tight end you ever have seen.
"We are happy to have a different (type) tight end in the building," Tice said, while adding that holdover Kyle Adams also can play the hybrid end-fullback position. "That's going to be a good tool for us in our offense."
