For me, there are never too many good TEs. Call me a dinosaur but, I loved the days of a two tight end sets for Kenny Anderson and Boomer Esiason. The following article attributes the birth of a two TE offense to the Bengals in 2013, however, I remember them using it as an option in the 80s and 90s. I still believe it is a solid option for numerous plays in today's NFL. I mean, how can you not like two players on the field (at various degrees), who can block like linemen, catch like a receiver and run like an RB?
Yes, I know all TEs are not Gronkoswski, Winslow, Newsome, Gonzalez, etc., however, IMHO, having two quality TEs on the field at one time can elevate the offensive run/pass effectiveness in certain situations.
