The NFL’s best tight ends, No. 2: Jordan Reed, Redskins
Reed broke out last year with 87 receptions and 952 receiving yards in just 14 games played.
In many ways, Reed could have been the Next Big Thing on this list (see intro), except he’s already a big deal. When healthy, he impressed during his first two seasons, especially given Washington’s, um, interesting quarterback situation at the time. Reed broke out last year with 87 receptions and 952 receiving yards in just 14 games played. He can toggle between wideout and traditional tight end roles; according to Pro Football Focus, his 2.45 yards per route run were the best for all tight ends in 2015. Reed is the best receiver on the Redskins and would be a production machine in virtually any scheme—all he has to do is stay healthy.
