Tight end

The tight end (TE) is a position in American football on the offensive team. The role of a tight end can change depending on the philosophy of the head coach, but their main jobs are two-fold: block for the running back or quarterback who is carrying the ball, and catch passes from the quarterback. The tight end usually lines up next to an offensive tackle, adding a man to that side of the offensive line. Therefore, whichever side the tight end is on is referred to as the "strong side", and the side without is called "weak side". Linebackers are, by extension, given "strong-side" and "weak-side" roles depending on which side of the defense they line up on.
