Rourke Returns Strong in Debut | NFL News

Curtis Rourke made a strong return in his first game back after nearly two years off, running the offense with poise and precision—so much so that coaches are already seeing signs of his NFL potential. With only three tight ends available, the team leaned into eleven personnel, adapting to roster constraints rather than strategy. Rookie Jonathon Shamblin flashed talent on the field but still needs work on route running and alignment—coaches believe he’s improving fast. Rourke admitted to pre-game nerves, but delivered despite them, proving his readiness and passion for the game. While excitement is warranted, it’s too early to declare him a star—he’s got size, smarts, and arm talent, and the team drafted him for those reasons.
