So recently maybe the past decade, a bunch of these super athletic TEs have entered the league.

I think the NFL is due for a FB/Tackle/TE type player build to come in. I think the Darnell guy in the draft could fit this. But just like pass catching TE's were insane when they first came out. I think the next evolution of what I predict will be considered just a tight end, is the tight end that is fast, strong and agile. Meaning a TE build that can CONSISTENTLY play FB/TE and o line. 

I know you guys are gonna be like WHAT??? NO athlete will EVER be able to play those 3 positions at such a high level. But there was a time where NO ONE thought a player would ever be able to block and run. And then these athletes came into existence that could do both and eventually the tight end position was born in its current installment.
