The NFL’s best tight ends, No. 8: Gary Barnidge, Browns

Over seven seasons, Barnidge has 1,646 receiving yards—1,043 of which came last season.

Cleveland took the handcuffs off Barnidge in 2015, who until then had been used primarily as a blocker. Over seven seasons, Barnidge has 1,646 receiving yards—1,043 of which came last season. Barnidge’s future as a top target for Josh McCown (for now) is in question, as the Browns got major help by drafting Baylor wideout Corey Coleman with the No. 15 pick. His reliability, strong hands and chemistry with McCown should solidify his future as a dual threat in Cleveland.
