There was a period last summer when tight end was considered the Chicago Bears' deepest positon.
But at season’s end, Chicago’s tight ends combined to catch just 60 passes for 672 yards.
Where did it go wrong?
For starters, the group’s lowest moment occurred in Week 8, when popular veteran Zach Miller -- the Bears' most productive tight end with 20 receptions for 236 yards and two touchdowns -- suffered a gruesome dislocated knee that required emergency surgery to save his left leg.
Without Miller, 33, the Bears lacked a proven leader at the positon, and they also lost their most talented and reliable pass-catching tight end.
