TEs to play a big part for Nittany Lions

Under new head coach Bill O'Brien, Penn State tight ends will be much more prominent in the offense.  Take for example how Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski were used under O'Brien in New England.  This spring O'Brien singled out Garry Gilliam as someone who could see more playing time.

I like that the Nittany Lions' tight ends could be used like Hernandez and the Gronk, but there is a one thing missing: Tom Brady.  Gilliam could be a fantasy steal but only if the quarterback play increases substantially.
