Best Patriots Tight End. Tom Brady makes passes to tight ends much more often than other quarterbacks in the league. To those points I suggest Henry and Smith came to New England to be the leading target options.
Ben Coates and Shannon Sharpe were the top tight ends of the 1990s. Unlike Kelce the majority of his damage comes inline where Kyle Shanahan does as good of a job as any coach in the NFL at creating mismatches in coverage. Martellus Bennett played for the New England Patriots for almost two years from 2016 to 2017.
87 was one of quarterback Drew Bledsoes favorite targets.
Smith joined the club. For Smith a four-year 50 million contract three years 375 million for Henry. Whether they have worn the silver and blue or dawned the old Pat Patriot helmet these are the 5 best tight ends in New England Patriots history. Here are the top three players to grace that position in New England during the Brady era.
