Pass catching tight ends continue to be a huge aspect in the game of football. Look around the league today and you’ll see guys like Zach Ertz, who broke the single-season record for receptions by a tight end last year. Also consider George Kittle and Travis Kelce, who both broke the single-season record for yards by a tight end. One guy who didn’t get to benefit in the tight end renaissance, but certainly would have thrived in it, is Cincinnati Bengals tight end, Tyler Eifert.
Selected in the first round by the Bengals in 2013, there was no controversy in what Cincinnati saw in Eifert.
