No position over the past couple years has been more depleted for the New England Patriots than tight end.
Rob Gronkowski retired after winning the Super Bowl in 2018 and production hit an extremely drastic decline. Last year, the Patriots’ tight end group tallied 18 receptions for 254 yards, which is abysmal in comparison to the previous decade. New England drafted Devin Asiasi and Dalton Keene in the third round last year to bolster the group, but they both had growing pains.
The Patriots could use veteran experience and at least one tight end who has a reputable career in the league.
