Pro Football Focus ranks the top 10 tight ends in 2022 season
The 2022 college football seasons are over, and the postseason ratings continue to pour in. No, not just for teamsBut it’s also for players.
The tight end was the subject of one of the most heated debates at the postseason awards. Georgia had two of the nation’s best in Darnell Washington and Brock Bowers, while Notre Dame’s Michael Mayer set records for the position at the school known as being “Tight End U”.
The Mackey Award, which goes annually to the nation’s top tight end, was given to Bowers Despite Mayer receiving more touchdowns and receiving yards, he still has the most receptions.
I don’t believe there is hardware that comes with it but Pro Football Focus listed their top 10 tight ends of the 2022 college football season over the weekend and for whatever it’s worth, the Notre Dame record holder can walk away with bragging rights in that regard.
Here are PFF’s top 10 tight ends for the 2022 season, along with their season grade.
