TE/FB class rankings below are courtesy of PFF 2021 data. PFF grades required a minimum of 10 targets — 72 tight ends in my database with PFF grades hit this threshold. Ranks for aDOT and YAC/R are based off 85 qualifiers. RAS size-adjusted athletic composites provided by Kent Lee Platte. RAS scores should be read as percentiles — ie “5.0” is 50th-percentile, a perfectly average athlete entering the NFL.
