AUDIO: Unexpected Strength?: The Wisconsin Tight Ends

Coming into spring there was an assumption that tight end was going to be a problem. The Badgers have to replace a second-team All-Conference player in Lance Mason at a position that is pivotal for what Jeff Grimes wants to do offensively. Tight ends in this offense are not just extra blockers or safety valve receivers. They help dictate spacing, manipulate coverage, create cleaner reads for quarterbacks, and give the offense the ability to change personalities without constantly changing personnel. That's why what happened this spring was interesting. Instead of trying to find one guy to replace all the production, Wisconsin suddenly looks like it has a room full of players with different skill sets that allow the offense to attack defenses in completely different ways depending on the matchup.
