Tight Ends

Benjamin Watson
Eric Saubert
Stephen Anderson
Andrew Beck

As I stated earlier, tight end was easily hit the hardest this offseason just with the retirement of the great Rob Gronkowski. The Patriots hope that Watson can still play at a high level in his age 38 season. Saubert and Anderson are younger players who have the potential to develop into solid all-around tight ends. Beck is an undrafted rookie who has the chance to make the team as a tough-nosed player who is a very good blocker at the position.

Player to watch: Ryan Izzo
