New England Patriots starting tight end Matt LaCosse will need to fight off not one but two exciting young rookie competitors at his position in 2020.
The New England Patriots were downright embarrassing at tight end in 2019.
Look, some downturn was obviously to be expected. As much as no one wanted it to happen, losing one of the greatest of all time at the position — Rob Gronkowski — in March of 2019 was a devastating blow.
