100-yard receiving games are still not incredibly common from the tight end position, but they have become a lot more prominent around the league over the course of the past decade. There have only been about 340 dating back to 1950, yet nearly 200 of them have come since just 2010.
Pittsburgh Steelers history mirrors this pretty well. The team had never seen a 100-yard game from a tight end in its long years in the NFL until 2006, during Heath Miller’s second season. He had two 100-yard games that year, including one for 171 yards, which remains by far the most by a tight end in team history.
