TE: Shannon Sharpe

Shannon Sharpe was a vocal leader on a great Broncos team in the ’90s and again from 2002-2003. He was an 8-time Pro Bowler who helped the Broncos win their two Super Bowls in the ’90s, as well as being a part of the Baltimore Ravens’ Super Bowl team.

Sharpe finished the 1996 and 1998 seasons with ten or more touchdowns. He also topped 1,000 receiving yards three times in his career. In 1993, he came so close with 995.

Sharpe had a career catch rate of 65.7 percent, which included 1993 when he caught 81 of 110 targets (73.6 percent).

Sharpe retired as the NFL’s All-Time leader in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns for a tight end. He entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2009.

Easy choice for the tight end slot on this list.
