Gil Brandt Tight Quotations

Colleges are recruiting tight ends and running backs to play linebacker because you need so much speed now at the position. There are some good ones that will soon be coming out of college. There are signs that it's coming around, but right now there's no question that the true linebacker, like Butkus and Nitschke, are almost extinct.

He's the fastest tight end I've ever seen. I knew he was fast, but I thought he'd run a 4.55 or something like that. It's amazing, especially at that weight.

He didn't work out like a tight end would work out, but he worked out like a defensive or offensive lineman. He's an intriguing guy, a good guy to look at.
