A good tight end is hard to come by, yet very necessary for team success. Back in the day, tight ends were really just additional linemen. Today, they must be able to block like linemen, but catch like wide receivers.

When you talk about some of the best tight ends in the league, you have to talk about Jason Witten (Dallas), Antonio Gates (Chargers), Dallas Clark (Colts), and Chris Cooley (Redskins).

All of these guys were part of passing offenses that were ranked top 10 in the league last year. All of these guys with the exception of Cooley were also part of overall offenses that were ranked in the top 10. You could make the case that with Tony Romo, Philip Rivers, and Peyton Manning tossing balls to these guys, they should be at the top of the tight end list every year. However, these are all guys you can expect and rely upon to throw out some big blocks for their backs and receivers.
