Redskins Moving WR Niles Paul To Tight End

Found April 20, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Niles Paul
TEAMS: Washington Redskins
Washington Redskins wide receiver Niles Paul confirmed that he is making the move to tight end, Mike Jones of The Washington Post reports. "Coach gave me a call earlier this offseason and asked me how I’d feel about switching to tight end," Paul said on Friday. "I told him, 'I’ll play wherever you want me.' I’ve done everything I’ve been asked, and I’ll keep doing it. I’m excited about the position change. I’m excited that coach has enough respect for me that he’d call me to ask me what I thought about it." A 2011 fifth round pick out of Nebraska, Paul caught two passes for 25 yards and gained seven yards on one rushing attempt in 13 games, including two starts, last season. The 6-foot-1, 224-pound Paul played in less than 15 percent of the offensive snaps, contributing primarily on special teams where he recorded four tackles. Moving to tight end likely improves Paul's chances of sticking on the 53-man roster in September.
