I think we may actually still be in the tight end business in this class. I have been looking at Ty Williams purely as a wide receiver. I did not see him growing into a tight end. On film he is such a long, lean graceful athlete. I thought he would just fill out naturally and stay at wide receiver. That changed last week. Gary Hosteau recently published some photographs of Williams. Fans started speculating in the thread about whether he was going to be a tight end. I said no way. Too long and lean. That is a thoroughbreds body. Later in the thread ary came back on and said that Williams weighs 220 lbs. It took a minute for that to register. These are recent pictures. He weighs 220 lbs. He still looks long and lean. Definitely heavier but still a long lean kid. If he is 220 in those pictures with his body looking like that, yes, he very well could be a tight end. He will most likely at least be an H-back. It looks like he is going through a growth spurt. There is no reason to assume it is going to stop anytime soon.

I also believe that while he may not be coming in officially as a tight end, I think Baldwin is going to be a tight end. He has the body to be a strong side defensive end, something that has developed into a need for this team, but he is going to have to show that he is a defensive football player before I believe it. I want to see a motor and I want to see this kid play with the kind of fire that a defensive player plays with. Remember the clip of Lawrence Taylor pacing the sidelines screaming at his teammates, “Hey, lets get out there like a bunch of crazed dogs and have some fun.” That sums up the mindset of a good defensive player.
