What is a te in football?

A "te" in football refers to the position of a tight end. Tight ends are typically larger, more physical players who line up on the offensive line and can block defenders or catch passes. They are usually used in short-yardage situations or as an additional receiving option for quarterbacks. Tight ends are designated with the letter "TE" on the depth chart and their primary responsibility is to be a versatile player who can both block and catch in various offensive formations. Some of the most famous tight ends in football history include Tony Gonzalez, Shannon Sharpe, Rob Gronkowski, and Jason Witten.
