Even though Eifert was the most productive tight end in 2019, Uzomah was the team’s starter. Uzomah started all 16 games and was in for over 58% of the club’s snaps. Eifert was primarily used as a red zone target. This year without Eifert on the roster, Uzomah should see an uptick in production as his role expands the story went on to say.
