ESPN is continuing its series of ranking the top 10 players at each position in the NFL.
The Patriots were well-represented at tight end with Hunter Henry coming in at No. 7 and Jonnu Smith No. 9.
Despite being No. 7, Henry didn't get the greatest review.
“He is what he is — not great all around, but will wow you in the passing game with great hands,” an AFC exec said.
As for Smith, his versatility is what makes him so good.
“You can use him a gazillion different ways,” an NFL coordinator said. “Blocking at all levels, jet sweeps, motion, and he’s improved as a receiver.”
With Henry and Smith onboard, the Patriots' tight ends group will be much better than it has been the last few seasons.
