Four tight ends indicates how Chip Kelly feels about the position. Brent Celek will return as the starter, a position he has held since 2008. Zach Ertz will occupy many roles, such as a slot receiver, tight end, H-back, and even out wide as a wide receiver.
James Casey is a versatile player who will see snaps as a fullback, H-back, and tight end. He’s a terrific receiver and could catch as many as 50-60 passes. Emil Igwenagu made the roster as a fullback/tight end mix.
