Is the tight end an eligible receiver if he is covered by a wide receiver?
If the split end is on the line, no. If this wideout is actually a flanker - not on the line, then that would put the TE on the end making him eligible. A tight end is called an end because he is on the end of the line. Eligible receivers are all players in the backfield (not on the line of scrimmage), plus the the two linemen that are on each end of the line. The other requirement for eligibles is that they be numbered 1-49 or 80-99. A common foul is when a wide out lines up on the end of the line on the same side as the tight end, then a tight end is downfield (beyond the expanded 2 yard neutral zone) goes downfield while a forward pass travels beyond the line of scrimmage. In this case, the wide out erred in lining up wrong, or the tight end should have known he was covered and thus ineligible.
What is a wide receiver in football?
A WR is a abbreviation for Wide Receiver. The WR's job is to exucute the route the play has defined for the WR. The WR then runs the route trying to elude the DB(Defensive Back) that is assigned to stop the WR. But the main duty of the WR is to catch the ball and try to get into the endzone for a touchdown
What is an uncovered tight end?
A covered Tight End is a Tight End with a Wide Receiver outside of him on the line of scrimmage. If you want a Tight End eligible for a pass, he must not be covered up by another player since the only eligible receivers are those with the correct number (not 50-79) who are either in the back field or the last men on the line of scrimmage. Therefore having a player outside of the Tight End on the line of scrimmage is "covering" him up. A covered Tight End is legal for run and pass as long as the covered Tight End is not going out for a pass.

What does tight end do in football?
Other than quarterback, Tight End is the toughest position on the offense to play. The TE must be a versatile player. He must be a good run blocker, since the side of the line on which he lines up is considered the "strong" side, where most rushing plays are designed to go. He must also be a good pass blocker, because the TE, although eligible to receive passes, frequently stays back to assist the offensive line in protecting the QB. And as an eligible receiver, he must have good agility and hands, since he often goes down field or runs pass patterns into the flats to catch passes. For many teams, the TE is the go-to receiver in the red zone (inside the 20-yard line), when the chance to score a touchdown is greatest. A tight end is a pass receiver who usually positions himself next to one of the offensive tackles on the line of scrimmage. Where as the other two receivers, the split end and flanker, are swift and agile, a tight end is large and strong. The tight end will help the offensive line in run blocking in the center of the field. Tight ends generally run short pass routes in the middle of the field or to the flanks.
What is the difference between a flanker and a wide receiver?
A tight end lines up within the two yard zone at the end of the offensive line. The tight end normally is comparable in size to an offensive lineman but is an eligible pass receiver. In contrast, a wide receiver can be a split end or a wing back (depending on if he lines down on the line of scrimmage or not. A wide receiver is normally tall and skinny in comparison to an offensive lineman and is normally very fast.

What position does TE stand for in football?
Tight end. The tight end lines up on the end of the offensive line. Tight ends usually do a lot of blocking and sometimes go out for passes.I play tight end its easy and fun. The offense has to have exactly 7 players lined up on the line of scrimmage. (The other 4 players must be behind the line.) The two players on the end of the line can go out for passes. (The inside linemen can't.) Split ends are wide receivers who are on the line of scrimmage but stand out on the side of the field, split away from the others. Tight ends stay in tight, next to the inside linemen. Usually there is only one tight end on the field, and his side of the line is called the "strong side." The other side is called the "weak side." If the offense needs to run the ball, they might put a second tight end on the line to provide extra blocking power.

What American football posistion should you play you are 6ft 2 or 3 around 15 stone with muscle bulk and can run the 100m in around 11 secs?
It depends on how old you are. If you were going into the NFL and are around 22, it would probably be best to play Wide Receiver or one of the Safety positions.If you have good hands then Wide Receiver and if not safety would be better. If you are going into college and are around 18, you might be able to put on some weight and play Tight End or Linebacker. It also depends on what type of frame you have. If you are close to your max size I would stick with the first two positions if not then bulk up and try the last two positions.
What is to be of tightends?
While many coaches from many programs have several expectations for their tight end, here are 5 universal tips as to what it is to be a great tight end. First and foremost, it is important to note that a tight end is not the glamour position of a wide receiver or split end, nor is it the brutal position of an offensive lineman. But at one time or another, usually at a critical point in the game, a tight end will be called upon to perform the duties of both positions. Versatility is the key. At all times the tight end must be able to perform the dual role of blocker and receiver, and must be quick enough yet strong enough to do both. There is no other player in the offensive scheme who is relied upon to execute so meticulously such diverse talents. Blocking is of course a top priority, but not just the grunt/grudge blocking of an O lineman. A tight end is hopefully a bit more nimble than an O lineman, and is therefore called upon to do some downfield blocking, especially with screens and sweeps. This is where a true tight end begins to drool, because he is now being matched up against someone in the secondary they can man-handle, or a linebacker who is equal to the task. Either way, a tight end in this scenario can show his worth by plowing the road for his running back with great downfield blocking. Short, precise, "sit-down" route running is also a great asset, with soft hands being a priority. In this scenario, the tight end will usually be guarded by a plodding linebacker that will allow the tight end to catch the ball, then try to separate him from the ball. With soft hands and precise rout running, yards-after-the-catch will be the most obvious result. Becoming the occasional "go-to" possession receiver in short yardage situations will also make a tight end invaluable in the offensive scheme. Toughness over the middle will be the key here, as hopefully most defenders will forego tackling the tight end and attempt to make the great hit. Surviving this, any tight end worth his salt will gain a handful of extra yards while leaving his defenders in his wake. Lastly, tight ends become golden in the red zone. With the short field, a tight end can become dually important as a primary receiver and a primary blocker. Occasionally, some teams employ a "Jumbo" set in the red zone that includes 2 tight ends, illustrating how important a tight end becomes inside the 10 yard line. Versatility in being both a receiver and a compliment to the offensive line, screen and sweep blocking, "sit-down" precision route running, possession / third down receiving, and Red Zone flexibility are all 5 useful tips to becoming not just a good tight end, but a great one. With an enourmous amount of dedication and courage, one can go down in history as the next Mark Bavaro, Mark Chmura, or even Ozzie Newsome.
