"The Aaron Hernandez deal for five years and $40 million just set the bar for the new, all-important hybrid, a player who isn't the starting tight end but a guy that can line up in multiple spots to include tight end, slot receiver, H-back, fullback and even running back...Keep an eye on the following players this season as they are given the opportunity to be Hernandez types: David Nelson (Bills)..." Reminded of Brian's article on Nelson's role a few weeks back. Arguably, the Bills roster has several players that can be described as hybrids - Brad Smith is obvious, but CJ is being used in a hybrid way. Chan seems to like these hybrid players and the options they allow. Something to think about.
