Els mentioned that we are currently recruiting a few HS TEs but if they don't work out there are plenty of options right now. He specifically mentioned a player or players on the team who could or will move to TE, though he didn't mention any names. Speculation on other boards is that Pirman is at least one of those he is referring to. Here is a highlight film from Pirman's Senior year. He plays mostly a stand-up rush end or OLB role but there are numerous plays of him lined up at TE or even split out wide. He definately has the speed, atheleticism and tenacity to be a good TE. He has some good blocks at TE, mostly at the end of the clip. His route running needs to improve greatly and he needs to work on catching the ball with his hands and his blocking fundamentals need to improve but overall looks to have all the tools necessary to become a good TE for us. I for one hope that this move happens, unless he will be seeing the field at LB this year, which right now seems unlikely with the flood of talent we have gotten there the last two years.
