Thomas Carriger was a bruising, blocking-first tight end for Texas A&M
In the 2001-2003 seasons, Thomas Carriger stood out more for his edge-setting blocking and toughness than for volume receiving, with Texas A&M noting he was “noted for his blocking ability” and that his tight end spot had been hit by injuries. He showed some pop as a receiver too, including a 38-yard catch in the 2001 bowl win over TCU and a diving touchdown catch in 2002, so the profile is clear: physical, dependable, and willing to do the dirty work. If your team wants a gritty, in-line TE who can survive contact and help the run game, he fits the bill.
