Happy National Tight Ends Day to all who celebrate!
Among those who reveled in the football holiday were NFL tight ends themselves, who scored 16 touchdowns and totaled 177 receptions — the most catches by tight ends on any day in league history. That's also more TDs than have ever been scored on the occasion since San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle created the day of recognition for his position and peers in 2018.
