Top 10 Tight End Prospects


I have to disagree with CBS SportsLine again. When it comes to the top tight ends in the country Leonard Pope and Joe Klopfenstein are my one and two. I see both of these guys having long NFL careers, Pope is in the Randy McMichael mold and Klopfenstein could be the next Jay Novacek.

Dominique Byrd is a beast. He has great hands and perfect size but attitude could be an issue with him. Marcedes Lewis, like Byrd, has the size and hands but seems to be a finesse type player. I think of Keyshawn Johnson and Lewis as the same type of player even though they play different positions.

What are your thoughts?
