NFL Pro Bowl 2014: Mid-season NFC roster projections
By Mike Dyce
TIGHT END
1. Jimmy Graham, New Orleans Saints
Graham is arguably the best tight end in the league. He has caught 40 passes for 630 yards, the highest total amongst tight ends in the entire league. Graham has also caught 8 touchdown passes.
2. Vernon Davis, San Francisco 49ers
Davis has benefited from the lack of wide receiver depth in the 49ers offense. Half-way through the season he has 518 yards receiving. That has him on pace for his first career 1,000 yard season. He also already has 7 touchdowns this season, that ties the second-highest season total of his career.
3. Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys
Witten has quietly had another solid season for the Cowboys as one of Tony Romo’s favorite targets. He has caught 37 passes for 403 yards and three touchdowns. He doesn’t have the speed or abilities he had in his younger years but he is still amongst the best tight ends in the league.
