\ud83c\udfc8 THE SECRET SOCIETY OF TIGHT ENDS \ud83c\udfc8<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to the exclusive club where only 8 TEs in the entire NFL managed to:
\u2705 Catch 70%+ of their passes
\u2705 Score a TD on 10%+ of their touches
\u2705 Do it with at least 40 touches<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translation: while the rest of the league was busy dropping passes and running cardio, these dudes were quietly printing fantasy points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc51 Members include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.) Pat \u201cMr. Reliable\u201d Freiermuth (#88<\/a>, PIT)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.) George \u201cYAC Monster\u201d Kittle (#85<\/a>, SF)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.) Noah Gray (#83<\/a>, KC)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.) Mark Andrews (#89<\/a>, BAL)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.) Zach Ertz (#86<\/a>, WAS)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.) Sam LaPorta (#87<\/a>, DET)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.) Tucker Kraft (#85<\/a>, GB)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.) Isaiah Likely (#80<\/a>, BAL)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcca Not your average stat-padding TE club. This is the Hall of Efficiency \u2014 no cover charge, just bring hands of glue and a red zone key card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd25 Question is\u2026 which one of these guys will repeat in 2025?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
