Kellen Winslow and Mark Bavaro. Winslow’s career was over before I was born, and Bavaro retired when I was 5, but everyone knows they invented the modern tight end position.

I rest my case.

This is why I respect him more than #15 up in New York.

Mark Bavaro ? Are you kidding? He couldn’t hold Dave Casper’s jock strap.

Sorry I’m not old, bro. My high school coach used to bring up Bavaro all the time, and I always kind of assumed that he was on Winslow/Casper’s level. Casper was more of a traditional tight end anyway, which wasn’t the point I was making.

He ditched it and has played 7 years by ditching his ego and pocketing several million.

And the rest of the league will thank them for it.

Again!

He shouldn’t shy away from the TE role. Look at Gronk and Hernandez. They revolutionized that position and I suspect we’ll see a LOT of increased focus on the TE as a position of strategic importance.
