Ranking the top 5 tight ends in the NFC North

Good tight ends are few and far between in the NFL. There seem to be only a few true impact tight ends around the league, and two of them met in the Super Bowl last season. Having a good tight end can be game changing, though, as it seems that almost every team that has had recent success on offense did so with a top-tier tight end on the roster. Teams like the Baltimore Ravens have found success by focusing on building depth in the tight end room instead of at receiver.

A tight end who can both play as a blocker and a receiver at an elite level could make your offense unstoppable.
