    Conrad on Cats’ new offense: ‘I’m kind of everywhere’

    Kentucky’s new offensive coordinators had been on the job for only a few days, and already they wanted to discuss their never-ending options at the tight end spot, especially C.J. Conrad.
    “We know C.J. is really talented and we’re going to use him,” co-offensive coordinator Darin Hinshaw told a select group of media in January. “We’re going to move him all around, make defenses have to be thinking about what they’re doing.”
    Hinshaw wasn’t kidding.
    Just a couple weeks into installing the Cats’ new multiple, pro-style attack, Conrad said tight end is clearly a position on the go.
    “I’m moved more around,” Conrad said Tuesday after UK’s first day of spring practice. “I’m in the slot. I’m kind of everywhere. I really like it so far.”

      I have a feeling this will be C.J.'s breakout season.

          Love hearing this. From the limited amount he touched the ball last season, the guy just looks like a playmaker. Most impressive thing I noticed last year was how, after he was tackled, he would fall forward 3-5 yards.

              Travis Kelce was a little used Senior TE having caught 13 passes his Junior year when Gran showed up at UC. He then went on to win first team honors in conference catching 45 passes and became a 3rd round NFL draft pick by KC. Gran utilizes what talent he has. FWIW, Kelce was a 5.2 two star by rivals while CJ was a 5.8 four star. I think CJ has a much higher upside than Kelce did coming out of high school. In this offense, as I believe Gran will utilize him, less than 40 catches will be a disappointment to me.

                  Kelce wasn't a one trick pony as he is one of the better TEs in the NFL. I loved reading that about CJ. You saw in limited fashion last season what he is capable of. We haven't involved the TE since Tamme left and I am excited that we will be using the position again.
