Jacob Tamme was brought in from the Denver Broncos as a free agent to compete with Levine Toilolo for the starting tight end job. So far, Tamme has destroyed Toilolo and is running away with the starting job. His ability to get open i unbelievable. Quinn spoke on this as being very unique in the way he goes about it. He uses a technique like nobody else and has some of the best hands on the team.

The main thing you want out of your tight end is a sure-handed catcher. Somebody you can rely on. This is something Toilolo has lacked in his two years with the Falcons. Tamme on the other hand will catch the ball by any means possible if you throw it his way. He has already made several one-handed catches as well as a handful of nice sideline catches. If you go to camp, keep an eye on Tamme. He is killing it.
