Tight Ends

  • George Kittle
  • Levine Toilolo
  • Kaden Smith

George Kittle has already established himself as one of the very best and most complete tight ends in the league in his short career so far. Toilolo is a solid backup who is a very good blocker. Kaden Smith is a solid blocker as well as a sixth-round pick who seemed under-utilized in the passing game at Stanford.
