Bengals To Use WR Matt Jones As A Tight End?

The Bengals plan to use their newest addition, wide receiver Matt Jones not as a wideout, but as a tight end, according to in-house NFL guru Carlos “Big Câ€￾ Holmes. Sources tell Big C that the Bengals like Jones’ size (6-6, 220), even though he comes in about 30 pounds lighter than your average tight end. Former Bengal tight end Ben Utecht was considered a pass-catching tight end and appeared small despite his 6-6, 245-pound frame.

Now that's thinking outside the box (prison-box that is)

 

Interesting to see how this turns out...if he is strong enough to block this could work.

 

I think he would be more of a Kellen Winslow type of Tight End that's 20 pounds lighter. i don't think he would do as much blocking as act more as an extra WR in TE position

 

If he wants to play more he would learn how to block.
