Tight end is a position in the NFL that appears to be making somewhat of a comeback. With defenses getting smaller and faster to deal with the predominance of spread offenses in the NFL, an athletic, but BIG tight end can create a mismatch that most NFL defenses aren’t prepared to stop.
Just last year alone, we saw the two Super Bowl teams—the 49ers and the Chiefs—sport two of the best tight ends in the league in George Kittle and Travis Kelce, respectively. Those two both eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards in 2019, a feat in which only one other tight end (Raiders’ Darren Waller) accomplished last year.
