Rating tights end can be difficult and, as observers from outside, we can focus on winning, receptions, yardage, and a few intangibles. Often a tight end is one of the quarterback’s most reliable receiver. How much does a team depend on the tight end for more than yardage? So, with that said, here are the ten best tight ends ever in the NFL.
Tony Gonzalez – He's the most prolific tight end in the NFL (999 catches and 11,807 yards), but think about Gonzalez on a team that lacked quarterbacks and receivers. He consistently faced double teams, but, in the end, he gets his hands on the ball. His best year came in 2004. He led the league in receptions with 102, and had 1258 yards receiving with 7 TDs. So far in his career he has 820 for 9,882 yards and 73 TDs.
Shannon Sharpe – When he retired, he had more receptions (815) for more yards (10,060) than any other tight end in NFL history. He also had Super Bowls victories with the Ravens and the Broncos. A converted receiver, Broncos coach Mike Shanahan saw his potential as a tight end.
Ozzie Newsome – The Wizard of Oz finished with 662 yards, 7,980 yards, and 47 touchdowns; he’s a Hall of Famer. He’s fourth on the all-time reception list. The current Ravens’ GM earned the Offensive Player of the Year in his rookie year. He played in 198 consecutive games and caught at least one pass in 150 consecutive games.
Kellen Winslow – With a career cut short due to injuries, Winslow starred in Air Coryell. He had 89 catches in 1980 and 88 in 1981 & 83, but who can forget that performance in the 1981 playoffs against Miami. He finished his nine-year career with 541 catches for 6,741 yards and 45 TDs.
Dave Casper – “The Ghost to the Post” netted a number of touchdowns for the Raiders in the 1970s. An excellent blocker, he averaged 13.8 yards a game. In a memorable games in a 1977 playoff game against the Colts. The Hall of Famer caught a 42-yard reception set up a game-tying field goal to forced overtime. Oakland won with Casper's 10-yard touchdown reception in the second overtime period. Who can forget the Holy Roller play?
