What Is In-Line TE Percentage?

In-Line TE % measures the percentage of a team's dropback snaps where a tight end lines up in-line, attached to the formation next to the tackle, rather than detached from the line. This NFL player stat is a staple among NFL advanced stats for analyzing a tight end's role in the passing game. A high In-Line TE % often means the player is used primarily as a blocker and short-area target, while a low mark points to a more flex/receiving-oriented usage.
