Tight Ends:
Here are the three Tight Ends who have entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame and played within the last 25 years. They comprise our baseline:
Antonio Gates (2025), Tony Gonzalez (2019) & Shannon Sharpe (2011).
The Tight End position has been rapidly evolving to a main receiving option, and we expect this to be the most in-flux statistical bar over the next 20 years.
