You don’t have to look particularly hard if you want to find the NFL’s best tight ends.
Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs and George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers remain in a class of their own. And even though Rob Gronkowski took a one-year hiatus, his place as one of the league’s best is still all but assured. Throughout their stellar careers, all three players have measured up to PFF’s most stable metric for pass-catching tight ends: the ability to separate and perform against man coverage.
