Tight end is definitely not a glamour position in the NFL. Never has been and never will be. However, thanks to guys like Tony Gonzales, Shannon Sharpe, Antonio Gates, and Rob Gronkowski, the position gets more attention now than ever before.
If you’ve been a Texans fan for a minute, you should remember the days when Houston had a solid tight end before Bill O’Brien came along; that hasn’t been the case for quite some time. Houston may once again have a good group, but only time will tell. Will players like Darren Fells, Jordan Thomas, Jordan Akins, and Kahale Warring make fans forget about the glory days of #81?
