Jake Fisher apparently is giving up on the idea of being an OL in the NFL. He has dropped weight and is working with QBs in order to become a blocking TE. Hue put him in multiple tackle eligible situations his rookie year and he did play several games in that hybrid blocking TE/fullback role
An interesting name to watch for free agency: #Bengals OT Jake Fisher is down to 285 pounds as he reinvents himself as a blocking tight end, I’m told. He’s been running routes with current NFL QBs in Cali this offseason. Teams are intrigued and wanting to work him out.

I might be in the minority but i always liked Fish and i hope he succeeds in this fashion, he may not be an ideal OT but he is very versatile and he can catch. He would be one hell of a blocking TE being as he has had to block as an OT so much. The heart problem has kept me from judging his play on the field. Who can say how good he could of been without it?
I just hope the heart problem is behind him. He will have to run a lot more as a TE.
