Ranking the top-20 TEs on the Titans’ 2023 schedule

Now that we’ve covered quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs, it’s time to shift our focus to the tight ends as we continue to rank the top players at each position on the Tennessee Titans’ 2023 schedule.

The tight end position is one of the more underrated positions in all of football. Not only does the position have to contribute as an in-line blocker, but tight ends these days are big contributors in the passing game as well.

Obviously, some specialize in one aspect or the other, but the best tight ends in the league are able to consistently contribute in both facets.

Fortunately, Tennessee is being spared from facing the best tight ends of this era (Travis Kelce, George Kittle), but the Titans are still set to face their fair share of talented tight ends this year.

With all that said, let’s not waste anymore time and find out which players cracked our top 20 as we head into the 2023 season.
