Don't ususally want to write about myself but I was pretty terrible at the beginning of the season so here goes.
Liberty TE Paul DiMirio was a steal in the draft, but you never would've known it by the way he performed over his first couple of games. In the opening pair, he averaged 2 receptions for a paltry 12 yards. It didn't get much better even when he doubled his receptions average in weeks three and four. He was, by far, the worst starting TE in the league.
Enter Liberty GM Lincoln Jefferson. Jefferson started moving DiMirio around, sometimes in the backfield, sometimes inline. Sometimes, he was way on the outside, with Fox North playing slot, sometimes he was in the slot, and his big, physical frame terrorized nickel cornerbacks. He still made his home in the TE slot, but he new flexibility allowed him to start racking up the yards.
DiMirio still wasn't happy with his performance. Reportedly, he spent "all his time" in the weight room "like a madman", building up his strength. And it payed off, too: DiMirio averaged 9 receptions/game averaging ~90 yards/game after that lifting spree, and he's a vital part of the Liberty offense going forwards. He can rack up yards, work the safeties, protect the runner, and do everything else a productive TE does. In S3, look for him to continue his increasing dominance.
