These are just a few of the tough tight ends that the Chiefs will see in 2016.
The tight end position is becoming an increasingly more important position in the National Football League, and teams are trying their darnedest to get an elite one. Fortunately, the Chiefs have a rising star in Travis Kelce, and he’d likely make this list for any team facing Kansas City this year.

Other tight ends that I considered for this list were Austin Seferian-Jenkins of the Buccaneers and Ladarius Green of the Steelers.
Seferian-Jenkins has had an injury riddled start to his young career, appearing in only 16 games in two seasons. His injury problems kept him off this list, but the former second rounder has the potential to be a dominant tight end.
Green was really only considered because of the team he plays for and who the quarterback is in Pittsburgh. Green spent time in San Diego before the Steelers signed him and never really blew me away with what he was able to do.
