Jared Cook — Best tight end in the NFC South

However good you think Jared Cook is — square it, double it, add 28.3 to it. Because he’s one of the best tight ends in the league when healthy.

The speed he possesses at his size, combined with the route running chops and ability to go up and make spectacular catches, makes him a nightmare for any linebacker or safety to match up with. He’s easily the best tight end in the division — and was even before Austin Hooper left for Cleveland — And when the circumstances allowed him to, he displayed star ability as a receiver in 2019.
