Offense

13 personnel

One back, three tight ends and one receiver — a heavy run package.

13 personnel puts three tight ends on the field with one back and a single receiver. It is a run and play-action grouping that shows up near the goal line and in short yardage.

Defenses answer with base or heavy personnel, which is what makes the play-action shot off it work.
