J.R. Zwierzynski was a run-game tone-setter for Western Illinois
In the 2006 season, J.R. Zwierzynski made the move from linebacker to tight end and started all 11 games for Western Illinois, emerging as a dominant run-blocker who helped power the Leathernecks’ ground game while still contributing 17 catches for 213 yards. His edge is trench-play toughness: the kind of TE who can change how a defense has to line up, not just pile up box-score fluff. If your team wants a physical, assignment-sound tight end who brings effort and edge, he looks like a strong fit.
