When it comes time to pick an All-Pro tight end this year, voters should just canvass the Detroit Lions locker room.

Already this season, the Lions have faced last year’s Pro Bowl starters at the position from both the AFC and NFC, Travis Kelce and Zach Ertz. Last week, they faced arguably the fastest player at the position in the New York Giants’ Evan Engram. And on Sunday, they’ll go up against one of the breakout stars of the season, regardless of position, the Oakland Raiders’ Darren Waller.
