Tight Ends

  • Kyle Rudolph
  • Irv Smith Jr.
  • Tyler Conklin

Kyle Rudolph is a solid all-around tight end who signed a four-year contract extension this offseason to stay in Minnesota long-term. Smith Jr. is a second-round pick who adds versatility and explosiveness opposite of Rudolph. Conklin is a versatile player who is at his best moving around among the receiver positions.

Player to watch: David Morgan II
