Tight end is a very unique position in football, because it’s a hybrid of the position group comprised of the heaviest guys (offensive linemen, where size matters the most) and the position group consisting of the lightest guys (wide receivers, where speed counts the most) on the field.
A tight end needs top-end speed and massive size, which can be challenging.
So if you have a so-called “position-less player,” he would likely be in the tight end group.

Tight ends coach George Godsey has declared starting TE Mark Andrews a “position-less player,” and yes, it’s a compliment.
“He gets it, and he’s capable of many things,” Godsey said of Andrews.
“He’s a position-less player, and that’s how we talk about the room. We play outside, and we play inside in the slot.
“We play attached; we have a lot of different roles. All those guys are capable, and Mark leads the group: him and Pat (Ricard).”
Positionless basketball is all the rage on the hardwood right now. Will this ideology make the transition from the court to the gridiron?
Maybe, but most likely not, given the advanced-level schematics and complicated strategies involved in football.
