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. )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.
