Best TE groups in the NFL

And so the series continues with today discussing which teams have the best tight end groups in the NFL. A special note to be made before I go on is that the New England Patriots would have been number one, but Rob Gronkowski decided wreck his arm by partying and Aaron Hernandez decided to go back to his dark past. Anyways, lets look into the best tight end groups in the NFL.

1. Dallas Cowboys- Jerry Jones may have very little football brains help this team win, but he did create one of the best tight end groups in the NFL. To start off with, they have a very overlooked Jason Witten who is great at keeping defenses eyes away from other players. One surprising pick up that I think will help for sure is Dante Rosario. He will not wow anyone, but he is a solid player that can make the highlight reel. Add in the new kid in Gavin Escobar and you have a very solid group. If Romo can be healthy, he can have a lot of fun with this group of guys. That is a big IF though.

2. New Orleans Saints- I have to say I really am impressed with young Jimmy Graham. When he is not on the field this offense is just not the same. The guy I think is better than most top tight ends in my opinion. He is still a rising star. They also boost experience in Benjamin Watson. Both of these guys can start for many other teams easily. They are just lucky to have both of them.

3. San Diego Chargers- Many people that work for the NFL claim that Antonio Gates is very overrated. I could not disagree more. The guy has dominated the league for years (and remember Eric ¨where is Gates¨ Berry ? He got destroyed by Gates and he made the pro bowl last year), so I am not too worried about him. Then they added a solid player in John Phillips, whom the Chargers need badly for blocking reasons. A surprise player that I think will have a bigger impact next season is Landarious Green. The guy is very tall and will make plays next year.

4. San Francisco 49´ers- Last season Micheal Crabtree took a lot of balls away from Vernan Davis. This year however, San Francisco needs Vernan Davis more than ever. It will hurt that these guys have lost a lot of weapons to injury in the WR position, but Davis will help for sure. After that, nobody really impresses me too much honestly. Maybe one of them will prove me wrong, but its a drop off after Davis

5. Atlanta Falcons- I did a lot of reading into for Tony Gonzalez. They guy can wreck the field for defenses and will be a hall of fame player for sure, but work ethic I think will be his downfall this season. Part of his contract insists that he not have to go to training camp. People who do not work hard in the offseason take a dive (Jared Gaither for the Chargers last year). Just like San Francisco though, this group takes a dive after Gonzalez. However, do not be surprised if the Falcons end up in the Super Bowl next year...or if heads start rolling in the coaching department if they do not.
