Just wondering but how would ya'll feel about me doing more casual videos during the weekdays (like random tier lists and whatnot) on top of the usual Saturday uploads, or would you prefer I make a separate channel for that?

For him being the first modern tight end, ditka’s numbers actually matched up decently with kelce’s

I think most people know Kelce is good, but most don't know how ELITE he is. The guy in 2020 was 119 yards short of finishing the season as the NFL's receiving yardage leader, as a TIGHT END. The guy is way different from Gronk.

They knew they couldn’t stop Gronk so they went low and broke his knee and legs he’s had 10-12 surgeries crazy enough and has over 100 Tds in about 10 seasons of play or less due to injury

Can't wait till we finally get to the evolution of the punter in these evolution videos..

The biggest evolution of the TE was the development of the H-back position by Joe Gibbs in the 1980s which, combined with an increased tendency of most teams to run 3 WR base sets in the 00s, led to the near-demise of the traditional FB. Guys like Winslow, Wycheck, and Clark were successful not just because of their size or athleticism, but how they lined up and motioned around.

Maybe I'm just being a total homer here, but I believe TJ Hockenson might be one of the position's brightest stars of the future. The way that he got off the plane after the trade and pretty much had go jump into a uniform and hit the field with no preparation or practice with his new offense and not only provide a presence but also lighting the fire that helped beat the Commanders at FedEx field back in October is impressive all by itself. It'll be fun watching him in purple for the better part of the next decade.

People always forget about Greg Olsen. First TE to have 3 straight 1000 yards seasons, and was the best receving option on the Cam Newton Panthers. Brady and Gronk, Brees and Graham, Smith/Mahomes and Kelce, NEWTON AND OLSON .

The TE spot is one of of the most underrated positions after OL winch is the power of offensive game.

Todd Christensen should've been mentioned, one of the main weapons of the great Oakland/LA Raiders teams of the 80's

I think fullback would be a fun one to look at because it'd most likely be like the opposite where it started strong and dwindled down outside of a few stand outs

That one Gronk Play was Hilarious LMAO

That walter white reference was on point but anybody else see ron howard there too? 👀

Every video the brady picture gets more secured i swear

i remember u had like 400 subs not that long ago congrats on 30k ur content is so fire

I'm missing one other tight end who has a documentary on him on Netflix, but obviously he wasn't only killing it on the field....

New England’s other TE in the early 2010’s was a killer tho

How come this guy doesn't have anymore subs his channel is amazing

Gronk is the most dominant and balanced TE Run blocking and Catching TDS in the regular season or playoffs having the most duo TDS 16

Babe wake up new TubFrog

An amazing video … so much good history of the Tight End! Thank you again TubFrog.

Love when you upload

Amazing video👍

Amazing Video

Of course I liked this video. You could've said a bit more about Ozzie but I get it. After all a bunch of interesting guys weren't mentioned. Mark Bavarro, Ben Watson, Bert Jones, Jay Novacek, etcetera. None of those guys advanced the position like the guys you mentioned. Good video

good video as always

Great video. Only things I think coulda been added was Greg Olsen in one era, he was like a Jason witten lite. And gronk was a great pass blocker even tho they ran him out, dude was the total package

If oj Howard stayed healthy he would of been amazing. The couple glimpses we saw of him in Tampa we're awesome he was fast and insanely strong. I think we'll see more TE be slimmer and faster than gronk Kelce and kittle

Looking forward to the evolution of defensive linemen 🏈

Make the vids on this channel. I think that’s a great idea. I’m so glad you mentioned Jimmy Graham. He was a beast and a major player in evolution.

My cousin was a good TE, it’s just that most of his career was wasted on the 90’s Bengals, and if you know football you know how bad they were.

In the 1970s, we used to debate whether Dave Casper or Russ Francis was the GOAT at tight end. I doubt anyone these days even remembers those two legendary players. In 50 years, in 2074, many people will barely remember a lot of great players from 2024.

Do corner back next or kickers that would be cool

Well done video. Your channel is all stuff younger/newer NFL fans should watch. Kids trying to tell me that Gronk was better than Tony G and don't even know the names of anyone older than Shannon Sharpe. Good stuff man keep it up.

I think Heath Miller is actually a really underrated Tight End, although I suppose you could say it was also Ben that made him successful

Jackie Smith & John Mackey were coming onto the seen , too. Just right behind Mike . the TE spot took off good in the 1970's . But , it was Kellen Winslow that MADE it what it is today ? Chiefs & Chargers have had a couple of REALL good TE"S , each . 2 in the Hall & 2 more that will be , soon .

Jeremy Shockey, Charlie Sanders, Riley Odomes, Billy Joe Dupree, Doug Cosbey, Jay Novachek.

dont forget tha dominant career of greg olsen he was an above average te during career

I would love to see a video on the demise of the Fullback, which is probably related to the rise of the Tight End

It’s crazy how nobody really talks about how Shannon really revolutionized the position

Fo the 80s, we should not forget Todd Christensen and Mark Bavaro. The Raider was a very productive reciever, fantastic at getting open and after the catch abailities. Bavaro was more in the mold of John Mackey, a beast at blocking with gret reciever years in 86 and 87.

Now can you do linebackers

IMO you’re underselling Gronk as a blocker.

Brock bowers called he says ur lat on your car insurance

Evolution of TubFrogs hair

Can we stop with the narrative that Gronk wasn’t used as a blocker?

Mark Bavaro deserves more love

nice

add a broken heart on the TB12 poster

Unc was a different breed indeed.

George Halas was a genius

Jesse we have to run TE Attack

Hey man wheres shocky & gramham?

Only real ones have been here since 800 subs

THe FULL DE-EVOLUTION of the TE Position in the CFL (12-man football)

5:27 Yo Mr White we need to catch

Alex Smith doesn't receive the credit he deserves. I wouldn't be surprised if he makes it to the HoF

Full evolution of linebackers Full evolution of Defense lineman Full evolution of Offensive lineman

Kelce doesn’t block at all

Why you disrespect Pete Werner like that?!? 😭😭

AFC West is kinda TE Factory

When you gone do defense

Did you play Phantasy Star 2 or watch me play Phantasy Star 2 at all or were you too young

Uncle Shannon is the T.E. G.O.A.T.

This is where Tom Brady began 💀💀

10:32 Wouldn’t Antonio Gates also be Tony G? 😁

What’s up with your hair bro? 😂

Jackie Smith is blamed for a loss that wasn’t really his fault. First of all, Staubach, by his own admission, threw a lousy pass. Look at the film. The pass was low and behind Smith. Second of all, Landry called a lousy play. It was a goal line play called on a 3rd and 10 situation. Third of all, Smith was coaxed out of retirement and barely played that season and didn’t have a single catch. He was the third string TE. Fourth, the Cowboys committed three turnovers, all of which the Steelers converted into TDS on the ensuing drives. One of those turnovers was an interception thrown by Staubach. So to say Smith was the cause for the Cowboys losing is to not look at the facts. Smith set a record for receiving yards by a TE with 1205 in 1967 on just 56 receptions. That’s a 21.5 yard average per catch. He also held career records for a TE in receptions, yard and TDs at the time of his retirement. Also, from 1964-69, he had 281 receptions for 4670 yards (16.6 yards per catch) and 21 TDs. While his TD and receptions totals were less, his total yards were right up there and his yards per catch was WR worthy, like Lance Alworth worthy.

So for the 1340 to the 1940s😂

Wth no mention of Aaron Hernandez??

Why the flak towards Ozzie? He’s in the HOF.

He is tony Gonzalez, university of California?

Sr. Not Jr.

You leave out Mark Barvaro shame

Most of the so-called tight ends now aren't even tight ends. Kelce lines up as a wide receiver most of the time and runs a pass route on every down.. probably couldn't throw a block if his life depended on it. The same goes for Whitten, Tony Gonzalez, Shannon Sharpe, and the rest of them. Meanwhile, many great true tight ends are being overlooked for the HOF like Mark Bavaro.

Ozzie Newsome was shunned.

I love Walter white

Ozzie disrespect????

Brock Bowers is going to be the best Tight End in NFL history, save this comment so in 10 years I’ll say “I told you so”

Top 7 TE ever 1. Tony Gonzalez 2. Antonio Gates 3. Jason Witten 4. Rob Gronkowski 5. Shannon Sharpe 6. Dave Casper 7. Travis Kelce

Gates > Gonzalez

First

Sodexo is a much better player than a coach he's a jackass as a coach trading away a whole draft for Ricky Williams and not given Walter Payton the ball on the goal-line in a Superbowl sorry won a Superbowl but it was Buddy Ryan the players respected

Do a Fullback one

Sharpe has 3 super bowl's raven's 00
