Every year, the NFL draft has several “can’t miss” tight end prospects who are supposed to be a quarterback's new favorite weapon. Each team is looking for their next Rob Gronkowski, Travis Kelce, or George Kittle. The tight end position has transformed from an extra blocker to an all-around playmaker, creating mismatches against every level of the defense.
