19. TE Travis Kelce
“Travis Kelce has become the prototype for modern-day receiving tight ends. While his blocking isn’t on the level of Rob Gronkowski or George Kittle, it’s still not bad, and he offsets this difference by being one of the best players the league has ever seen at his position after the catch. He can run like a wideout with the ball in his hands and has broken at least 10 tackles every season of his career, with a total of 91 over six seasons including the playoffs. Kelce has four-straight seasons with a PFF receiving grade of at least 87.0.“
George Kittle, who is ranked No. 5 in this list, disappeared in the postseason. Meanwhile, Kelce stepped up as a blocker and a receiver, with 632 receiving yards and four touchdowns on the way to a Super Bowl title. It’s hard for me to believe that Kelce’s future outlook for 2020 is significantly worse than Kittle’s. He’s set to continue making history, poised for a fifth-consecutive season with over 1,000 receiving yards, something no other tight end has achieved in NFL history.
