Tight end. The tight end lines up on the end of the offensive line. Tight ends usually do a lot of blocking and sometimes go out for passes.I play tight end its easy and fun.

The offense has to have exactly 7 players lined up on the line of scrimmage. (The other 4 players must be behind the line.) The two players on the end of the line can go out for passes. (The inside linemen can't.) Split ends are wide receivers who are on the line of scrimmage but stand out on the side of the field, split away from the others. Tight ends stay in tight, next to the inside linemen. Usually there is only one tight end on the field, and his side of the line is called the "strong side." The other side is called the "weak side." If the offense needs to run the ball, they might put a second tight end on the line to provide extra blocking power.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

The tight end (TE) is an player who lines up at the end of the offensive line. He is right up against the line (hence the term "tight"), as opposed to being split out from it.

Being a part of the line, tight ends do a lot of blocking. Thus, tight ends tend to be somewhat large, strong players. However, being on the end of the line makes them eligible receivers, so most tight ends are surprisingly athletic for their size.

A TE in football is a Tight End. A tight end is a very versatile player on the offensive side. The Tight End can block, go out for passes and even carry or throw the ball. You may see the tight end on the line of scrimmage with the linemen or spread out as a wide receiver.
