Tony Gonzalez? I would vote him in

Fishhead · Dec 21, 2003

As of now, NEWSOME.

In the near future, Dallas CLARK.

Journeyman · Dec 21, 2003

Gonzales - I considered, but not enough tenure yet to qualify

Other honorable mentions; Russ Francis, Raymond Chester,Jay Novacek, Keith Jackson..not many stood out til late 70`s early 80`s... I think Winslow and Newsome were the two that changed the position. Becoming as available as any reciever on the field...

I heard the bodybuilders at your gym say it's you, Journeyman.

Option I. This girl I went out with the other day.

Mike Ditka was the prototype of the modern era tight end. The best ever has to be (imo) Ozzie Newsome. Nicknamed the “Wizard of Oz,” Newsome became the leading tight end receiver in NFL history with 662 receptions for 7,980 yards and 47 touchdowns. He ranked as the fourth leading receiver when he retired.

BTW. Dave Casper deserves some mention.

I new I`d forget a standout, Bavaro easily right at the top...

~Falco~ · Dec 21, 2003

J-Lo in the movie U-turn has her tight end tore up by Sean Penn. Check it out you'll thank me later. That little asian chick with braces in Porno, Avena is not bad.

Bavaro's numbers don't make it. He will never be in the HOF. How can he considered among the best ever?
TOTAL 126 games 351 Rec. 4733 Yards 13.5 Ave. 39 TDs. Not in the top 50 overall (not tight ends only) in any major categoy.

Newsome has become a great front office man with Baltimore, the main reason the Ravens have drafted so well....

Brian Sipe to "The Wizard of Oz" on the 18 yard out pattern was automatic!

Journeyman · Dec 21, 2003

Bavaro didn`t have the longevity but was awesome for about 5 years...

lander · Dec 21, 2003

That's a heck of a list ...

I'd have to go with Newsome, but Christiansen and Sharpe are just as good IMO

Check the stats and see how many have 500 career receptions, then add Frank Wychek (Maryland Terps) to the list.

VVV

wilheim · Dec 21, 2003

Vin - Why check Wycheck?

RobFunk · Dec 21, 2003

cap boso

Journeyman · Dec 21, 2003

Vini- are you still in the Md. area? OC Bridge , remember you wanted to toss me in at midnight one night last summer?
