On Wednesday, Pro Football Focus writer John Kosko published an article ranking the NFL’s top tight ends — and revived a debate we thought had been settled.
1. George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers
2. Travis Kelce, Kansas City ChiefsLet’s start this list with controversy.
Kittle was the NFL’s highest-graded tight end in 2023 at 87.7 overall, while Kelce finished second at 82.6. Kittle’s run-blocking grade also dwarfed Kelce’s, 81.1 to 46.9.
Their overall grades over the past three years are identical at 91.
