"Smith knows a thing or two about tight ends, and he especially knows about Penn State tight ends. For the past two years, Smith has coached Pat Freiermuth, Warren's predecessor in State College, and coordinated an offense that has seen Freiermuth score nine touchdowns and average 10.5 yards per reception. Meanwhile in Indianapolis, Warren is making a splash in his first season in the league. The first-round pick leads the Colts with 492 receiving yards and has three touchdowns."
"But each team is more than just its Penn State tight end. According to TruMedia, the Colts and Steelers are the most frequent users of lineups through eight weeks consisting of one running back and three tight ends (13 personnel); 13% of the Steelers' offensive plays have been in this formation; 12.7% for the Colts. The Baltimore Ravens (12%) are the only other"
Arthur Smith emphasized familiarity with Penn State tight ends based on coaching Pat Freiermuth for two years. Freiermuth scored nine touchdowns and averaged 10.5 yards per reception under Smith's coordination. Tyler Warren, a first-round pick in his rookie season, leads the Colts with 492 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Both the Steelers and Colts frequently deploy 13-personnel (one running back, three tight ends), using the formation on roughly 13% and 12.7% of offensive plays through eight weeks, respectively. The Baltimore Ravens register about 12% usage of the same formation.
