New UCLA offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy opens up about how injuries have affected the tight end room.
Despite having a surprisingly impressive season last year, the UCLA Bruins faced a major problem: injuries, particularly at the tight end position.
"So, first of all, you hate to say this -- and, knock on wood -- injuries happen, right? And you never want injuries, so we always have to remain flexible," Bieniemy said, So that's the beauty of having the personnel groups. Yes, the tight ends are working their tails off; Jerry's doing a helluva job with those guys, and they're a smart, intelligent group. So, all of those guys, they take personal pride in working.
A tight end for the Bruins from 2002-2005, Marcedes Lewis has played in the NFL ever since he graduated from UCLA. In his 17+ years in the NFL, Lewis has been played in the Pro Bowl once and named second-team All-Pro in 2010. He was entered into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 2022.
