Your main atts are Str/Blk/Vis/Cat so you probably want to cap Vis & Cat first before capping Spd & Agl (despite the fact that they are probably more important to a recieving TE). Be prepared not to get much production out of him till you can finally get to the Spd & Agl.

PS, your roll is closed

Also, one of the most underrated stats by TE owners is jumping. Very few TEs have more than 20 jumping, as well as LBs who are suppose to be covering you. If you get that to 30 by training, it should be a good season. (Long term though. )

seems like a great role, you can adv train catching/vision untill you have enough points to cap catching, switch over training to vis/agl till vis is capped and then move over to agl/spd till those two are capped.

Only thing I would do is move your equipment from spd over to stamina so you can stay in the game till you can get some points there.

I agree with what Xelstyle's advice on Jumping as well, should help pull the ball in since a lot of your receptions will be in close quarters.

I started to intense train Jumping and Stamina, Jumping and Strength and jumping went from 20 last season to 32 this season. When it was around the high 20's, I saw my TE performing better in the endzone. I've been apart of plays where you can kind of tell that my player elevated to catch a pass and fell right on his back (due to an unmoving dot after catch).

Jumping does help, sometimes I wish the QB could show a little faith and just toss it up... letting my guy elevate to make a play.

Since Tight End's seems to be getting targeted less and less, I cant safely say whether jumping DOES help.. I'd like to think that it does but I rarely see results because of the jumping.

If my backup TE was there, the QB wouldn't have given him a second look. For the most part, their builds are quite similar, with the backup being slightly less agile, but the biggest difference is the jumping.
6 receptions with jumping softcapped compared to the WRs having around 40.

My first meaningful game was today and I had catches similar to your Tight End. Jumping seems to be making a difference, I'm going to keep training it because jumping DOES seem to help. My backup (2 levels lower but a speed demon, less jumping) was targeted 5 times with 2 catches (3 dropped were deflected... hmm..) and I'm slightly more agile with more jumping and I was targeted 7 times with 6 catches. Agility and Jumping seem to be key, I'm loving where my build is going.

Sounds like you might have something there. I'll be trying that out with my FB.
