Not entirely all-22 tape, but a 2-hour cutup of Gronk and Hernandez getting targets in 2011. This offense had Gronk, Hernandez, Welker, Branch, OchoCinco.
In terms of the 2021 team, I'm really excited about Jonnu Smith. This guy is lightning quick, excellent in screen catches and elite run after the catch, a chess piece who can be moved all over the field and often in pre-snap motion, and he should be better than Hernandez. Henry is more a conventional tight end, he is not close to Gronk, he isn't that fast so should play next to the OLine pretty much at all times. Meyers and Bourne are both solid at getting open and catching the ball. Agholor just keep him outside for deep post and sideline routes.
Thought it would help to share since the elite 2TE offense was drafted and developed with Bill O'Brien, the current OC didn't use tight ends much from 05-08, had Gronk, then did absolutely zilch with tight ends in 2019 and in 2020.
