Ranking the top 25 tight ends in the NFL going into 2023

Rankings season is in full swing with a month to go before the preseason starts. Here at Seahawks Wire we have been going through our own lists going into the 2023 season, beginning with a ranking of all 32 head coaches around the league. Then we ranked all 32 starting quarterbacks, followed by the league’s top 23 running backs and most-recently the NFL’s top 33 wide receivers. Today we’ll count down the top 25 tight ends.

For the Seahawks we cheated by combining the efforts of Will Dissly, Noah Fant and Colby Parkinson into a single ranking. Together, they combined for 109 catches, 1,157 yards and nine touchdowns last season. That was good enough to land them at No. 12 on our list.

Here is the full top 25.
