L21 here, thinking I should focus on catching & strength but I'm open to suggestions.

Strength: 29.58 Blocking: 23.33
Speed: 41.58 Tackling: 13.37
Agility: 32.87 Throwing: 8
Jumping: 25.34 Catching: 38
Stamina: 32.28 Carrying: 13.37
Vision: 32.68 Kicking: 9
Confidence: 21.17 Punting: 9

Blocking Abilities
2 2 1 1 0
Receiving Abilities
5 6 6 4 3

He gets about 40% of the snaps at the position on a team that's tilted a bit more towards running than passing...though we're beating teams by a lot so it gets skewed as the CPU takes over and plays ball control. Anyway, I'd like to see him get open more and I'm not sure what magic key I'm missing to making that happen.

do not put anymore in special abilities for a long long time. and if you are having trouble getting open speed and agility is what you want to focus on.

I don't think speed's an issue so much, I'm blowing by the LBs pretty regularly. What's kinda funny - in a frustrating way - is that he gets by them too quickly and is dealing with the SS/FS before the QB can get rid of the ball.

that's the effect of route run. increases your speed and agi.

Well - you only have 1 dropped pass, so catching is fine. If you were dropping more passes - then I'd added to catching. The problem is either 1) QB or OC have settings that hurt your position (e.g. your not a favored receiver, or prefer long passes, etc.), or 2) your not getting open. If it's 1, then you can't change anything to help. If it's 2, then I'd suggest vision and speed.

Yea I'm definitely not the top option in the passing game. We have some great WRs so I'm sure that has something to do with it. I have noticed that in blitz situations the QB has a tendency to look my way pretty regularly, so I'm doing something right there at least.

Your catching is good, but you really need your strength and speed up. My TE has 69 speed, 51 strength, 42 catch, 35 vision, and 34 agility. I think I have a pretty good build, so if you want to go by that, go for it.
