It would be a nice move to place Paul @ TE in some situations to form mismatches.

I'd rather have a TE at 240-260 if he's going to block LBs or DEs instead of being at 220 lbs.

Yes, I understand that. What if Kyle Shanahan calls a play where the offense is running a stretch the play away from Paul who is lined up at TE? Let's say he's blocking an OLB on the play. On the very next play Paul is lined up at TE again and is able to beat the OLB deep on play action where there's no safety help whatsoever and ends up catching a 69 yard TD pass from RG3?

That would be a great play call that was used off a play action pass that running the ball set up. I'd rather see TEs who are 240-270 pounds also. But if Paul is used this way, it would make defenses respect Paul and make them accountable for him when he's lined up as a TE.

Niles Paul would be a Aaron Hernandez type TE. Short and fast. Although I do believe Paul is way faster with better blocking ability. Both 6'1 but Niles Paul only weights 225 and would have to gain about 20 more pounds to catch up with Hernandez.

Shannon Sharpe was what, 230? Just saying.

Exactly. Not sure why kids are saying something about his weight if the guy is 230 (give or take).

I think this is a super tall order for Niles Paul to play TE. He must bulk up. If he pulls this off, ultimate beast move.

ya know....I like Niles Paul as a TE, never thought of that...its probably the only way to get him in the passing game....he is probably our 6th receiver at best...now he is our 3rd TE unless we end up doing something crazy like trading Cooley...
I think it is good for Niles Paul and it is good TE insurance in case someone decides to start smoking weed again.

The nightmare match-ups this guy is going to create. Loving it.

Well I just feel like we already have two pass catching TEs. I would say that you would want a blocking TE, but then again, maybe the Shanahans may not want or need one. BTW, Paul is 220ish.

Regardless, it seems like this is an opportunity for Paul to stay with the team, and who is not to say that he cant or wont shed the weight. I mean Zo used to be an offensive/defensive lineman, and he has worked his way to an ILB.

One of the things that Shanny loves about NP is his blocking. (to go along with his work ethic)


Also, according to a recent tweet by Niles Paul, he's currently at 234.

This.. kid is still young and has a frame to fill out

He was great blocking WR and pretty solid special teamer last year... this keeps him on the team in a role maybe better suited towards keeping him.

If we have a more mobile offense overall.. this is the type of TE you want.
