A lot of factors go into being the GOAT in the NFL. The votes usually are for the center stage players , QB, RB, WR. In my view, while these players are great, the overall all around player is The Tight end. A tight end's function on offense is that of a versatile hybrid, acting as both a blocker (like an offensive lineman) and a pass-catcher (like a wide receiver), lining up on the line of scrimmage to create mismatches by being big enough to block but agile enough to run routes for short-to-medium gains or even deep down the middle (seam routes). They are crucial for disguising plays, helping the running game with key blocks, and becoming a reliable target in the passing game, especially near the goal line. So who are the greatest of all time. Some capture headlines because of their team , others because of their play. In my vote , my obvious selection for current player is of course Travis Kelce, I want to know your vote here is my Tight end top 10 GOATs , let me know what you think, #1 Tony Gonzalez Simply put, "Tony G" is statistically the best tight end in NFL history.
