Special traits:
Pass Blocker This player knows how to protect the QB, 5% bonus to agility and blocking for OL, FB and TE

Does a TE every block during a passing plays? So is there any advantage from a Pass Blocker TE?

14:52 1 and 10 to go on own 27, Morton Casillas (OC) snaps the ball to Marcos Caldwell (QB), hands off to Curt Otto (HB/C), this seems to be a run over the left end, Nick Poulain (DE/L) breaks through, Lason Jarrett (TE/R) blocks,

So can a TE both block and catch on a pass play?

Just an idea, but it could be that the "pass-block-rate" of a TE is calculated with some sort of fraction into the overall "pass-block"-calculation, to simulate delay-pass situation and stuff like staying at the line.

The thing is, that we don't see/reed the routes the WR and TE do run, so if you reed a TE was the selected target, sure he did run a route, but if the WR is the selected target, you never know whether the TE was on a route or not.

But on the other hand, this could be a simply a gap in the system.

This is a running play.

I'm pretty sure TE block on running plays but run routes on passing plays.

I believe that ability is a 5% bonus to agility + blocking, regardless of the type of play.

My best rushing FB ever, had pass blocker ... and while there's no way to tell for certain, I do believe the agility bonus was active while rushing as well, despite the name of the trait implying that it should only be for blocking plays.
