3. Tim Wright – TE, New England Patriots
Do you think that it’s a coincidence that the New England Patriots are red-hot and have slowly drifted back into their two tight end set?
It’s certainly a familiar look for Patriots fans who remember the success that the team had when both Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez were on the field simultaneously.
The current Patriots No. 2 TE, Tim Wright has quietly caught six touchdowns in the last seven games and has slowly inserted himself as the Pats “move” tight end, playing 61 snaps last Sunday.
Film: #Patriots “12” personnel most of game. Tim Wright 59/78 snaps, No. 3 WR Amendola 14 snaps.

TE Tim Wright smashing his season-high for snaps played today, with 49. Previous high was 21. Highlights pass-first approach by offense.

With the way Tom Brady and Co. are playing, having Wright around is not a bad idea.
