RANKING AFC WEST TIGHT ENDS

NUMBER 2 – HUNTER HENRY

I sometimes forget about Hunter Henry, but a lot of that is because he missed all of last season due to an injury.

Even with that injury, Henry is still second in the division at his position, which I’m not sure if it’s really a compliment considering he beat out a rookie and a guy with less than 200 career yards through three years.

Regardless, Henry is second in the AFC West at his position. In 2017, the last season Henry participated in, he hauled in 45 receptions for 579 yards and four touchdowns in 13 starts.

If Henry can stay healthy, he has a chance to be one of the better tight ends in the league. That has been a struggle for him recently, however, and no matter how good he is, it’s going to be difficult for him to be better than the number one entry on this list (guessing you know who that is by now).
