The tight end position has been a staple in the Michigan offense for a very long time, maybe not entirely during the Rich Rodriguez tenure, but the Wolverines have been known for their tight ends in recent years.
Since Jim Harbaugh took the head coaching job back in 2015, he’s made sure to utilize the tight end and fullback positions into the Wolverine offense. Even when Harbaugh hired Josh Gattis – a spread offense man – as the offensive coordinator, we still see the usage at a high level for tight ends. During the shortened 2020 season, Erick All had the third-most receiving yards on the team, and was targeted a good amount during games.
We’re now going into our fourth installment of ranking the top 10 players at each position since 1995. Now onto the tight ends, and the Wolverines have had some good ones in that time frame. Not all of them may be the top playmakers like what the wide receiver and running back positions have given us in recent years, but all ten of these players had a huge presence on the team they played on.
