Kincaid's snap alignment shifted to 50.9% in-line; Brady deploying him as a true tight end, not a receiver.

Under Joe Brady's system, Kincaid's snap alignment has shifted dramatically toward a traditional tight end deployment: in-line snaps jumped to 50.9% (from never exceeding 27% in his first three seasons), out-wide snaps plummeted to 12.3% (from 22.1% in 2025), and slot percentage dropped to 35.1% (lowest of his career, down from 52%+ in prior years). Additionally, pass-blocking role increased to 8.8% of snaps (from never exceeding 2.2% previously). Despite producing like a receiver, Kincaid is now being deployed as a classic tight end, which the source argues makes it harder for opposing defenses to diagnose run vs. pass plays.
