Tight ends are the kickers of the receiving world, but they keep trying their hardest to become the receivers of the receiving world and some are doing that well. Many of our top TEs were injured last season and I may be wrong in this, but it seems like the large, lanky, slow over the middle players who are reaching for passes might have a good shot at getting hurt, but I’m just making that up.
But I really am worried about Antonio Gates. Last season he was on pace to set every record in the books, but he hurt is foot, again. And now he is on the PUP list. They are just trying to ease him back, but with Vincent Jackson back and Gates with a bum foot I’m putting Jermichael Finley ahead of Gatesy. He is going to reinvent the position.
