Execs, coaches, scouts and players from around the NFL ranked their top 10 tight ends in our annual summer series.
on the horizon, it is again time for the league's true insiders to make their voices heard. ESPN surveyed league executives, coaches and scouts to help us rank the top 10 players at 11 different positions, from quarterback to cornerback and all positions in between. This is the fifth edition of these rankings, and as usual, several players have moved up or fallen off
Let's look at some of the game's top tight ends as ranked by execs, coaches and scouts around the NFL. The Chiefs' entire passing game struggled last season, allowing defenses to sag on Kelce in coverage. "He's still a monster target in the middle of the field, huge catch radius, a matchup issue for safeties and a bruiser after the catch," an NFL personnel evaluator said.While receivers have come and gone in Baltimore's offense, which before last year was known more for the running game, Andrews has produced like a high-end pass catcher throughout.
The 10 touchdowns led all tight ends. He dropped six passes, but as one league executive said, he has"good hands that won't be a problem long term."torn ACL and MCL"His zone instincts are elite, the ability to manipulate areas and get friendly to the QB," said an NFL coordinator on what separates Hockenson."His ability to win on choice routes in level two and create leverage vs. linebackers or defensive backs," the NFL coordinator continued.
Goedert can make things happen with the ball in his hands. His average of 5.4 yards after the catch per reception, which ranked fourth among this tight end group, reflects that. Engram led his position with 143 targets and his 114 receptions were 19 more than any other tight end. He's one of five tight ends to rank in the top eight at the position in catches , yards and touchdowns since 2020. Kelce, Andrews, Kittle and Hockenson are the others. That's good company.
