The NFL’s 11 best tight ends

Sure this comes down to George Kittle versus Travis Kelce, but who are some of the other top tight ends in the league today?

George Kittle is the definition of teaching tape at the tight end position. In the San Francisco 49ers offense he does everything asked of him at an extremely high level. His numbers are fantastic. He gives you yardage after the catch (Kittle led tight ends with 7.3 YAC per reception as well as 621 total yards after the catch). He is a great blocker in both the run and the pass game. He is everything you want from a tight end, and he’s just 26 years old.

Hard not to appreciate him.
