The Tight Ends were a major part of the offense for the Ravens
Steve McNair looked to his tight ends often in the passing attack as they caught 95 passes for 946 yards with 9 TD catches. Todd Heap was the leader of this unit as he started all 16 games and caught 73 passes for 765 yards (10.5 avg) with 6 TD catches. For his career, Heap has played in 82 games (75 starts) and he’s caught 316 passes for 3,658 yards (11.6 avg) with 26 TD grabs. Heap has great hands and deceptive speed which makes him one of McNair’s favorite weapons in the passing game.
Daniel Wilcox gets the scraps from the table. He played in 14 games (6 starts) and he caught 20 passes for 166 yards (8.3 avg.) with 3 TD catches. For his career, Wilcox has played in 46 games (14 starts) and has caught 65 passes for 539 yards (8.3 avg.) with 5 TD catches.
Rookie Quinn Sypniewski played in all 16 games (3 starts) and he caught 2 passes for 15 yards (7.5 avg.).
I think the same that Troy Smith should be drafted if available. I know he might be small but he is African-American like Steve McNair and can learn a lot from him. I think he could be a big-time player in the league as long as team doesn’t turn over the ball. I think it is also time to get a new running back that is fast that can go with Jamaal Lewis. Jamaal Lewis cannot go against a fast defense like the Colts.
Well, Jamal Lewis is long gone. I agree with you about Troy Smith. Kyle Boller is not the answer for the future.
