Since you brought it up... I'm not sure who's the best TE I've ever seen play. But the best TE combo was, without a doubt, Gronk-Hernandez. Individually, each was supremely talented. Together, they were a terrifying force. It defies probability that a team could find two TEs this talented in the same draft. Edited September 23, 2021 by hondo in seattle
Logic Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 I think it would be a bit more interesting to talk about the all-time list of Bills tight ends. Yes, it's a motley crew. Something like... 1. Ernie Warlick 2. Pete Metzelaars 3. Keith McKellar 4. Jay Riemersma 5. Charles Clay Woof. On second thought, let's never discuss this again. 1 2

That’s one of the lamest team all-time “greats” by position list you’ll ever find. All Dawson Knox needs to do is continue playing like he is now through the 2022 season and he will be on this list. And that’s not meant as praise for Knox … 1
Rico Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 For Bills TE’s, you have to go to the Bills Alternate Universe. 1. Tony Hunter 2. Reuben Gant 3. Lonnie Johnson 4. Jan White 1

So might Paul Seymour who had 5 starting seasons clearing a path for OJ. etc. he was a 10/10 as a blocking TE, a 1/10 as a pass catching threat. Kind of the platonic ideal of a Lee Smith type. Still … will we ever have a legit threat at TE? I mean, it’s only been 60 years now.

Given the "greats" on this list I guess Scott Chandler could probably slide in there somewhere. When Clay wasn't injured he was a pretty decent TE. 1

I thought he would’ve been better at LT than Dave Foley, but it all worked out I guess. The best thing about him IMO was when the Bills fleeced the Steelers by trading him for Frank Lewis.
njbuff Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Mark Bavaro was on his way to being the greatest all round TE this game has ever seen until injuries caught up to him very quickly. Brent Jones is very underrated as well.

Knox has a good chance to be #2 on this list in two years. More athletic than all of them.
PonyBoy Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Not on this list, Tim Tebow...oh wait. Nevermind.

AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Suffice it to say that there won’t be any mention of Bills tight ends in this thread
