After a breakdown of every run blocking opportunity that he had last season, you can come away with the impression that this is not going to be an issue for him. Kevin Gilbride, the tight ends coach, came away with the same impression. He watched Shaheen in college for another team. Then, he watched his year one tape and couldn’t believe it was the same player.
When breaking down his pass catching, the same idea that he was beyond his role came to mind. He was effective in the red zone and over the seams.
So, with all of the hype at tight end surrounding Trey Burton, remember Adam Shaheen. The former second-rounder has a role and a plan in this offense and is going to be used more than some would think.
