Tight Ends

Starter

Ozzie Newsome, Cleveland Browns

Many people know Ozzie Newsome as an excellent front office executive for the Ravens, but he was also a Hall of Fame tight end for the Browns. Newsome maintained a solid 13 year career in Cleveland, including two 1,000 yard seasons. Ozzie is predominantly considered to be a top 10 tight end of all-time and is by far the best starting option for this team.

Reserves

Heath Miller, Pittsburgh Steelers

Dante Lavelli, Cleveland Browns

Heath Miller wasn’t the flashiest tight end, but was always a solid, go-to option for the Steelers in his 11 year career. A 2-time Pro Bowler and 2-time Super Bowl champion, Miller was a favorite target of Big Ben and came through with big catches whenever they were needed.

Lavelli was with the Browns for the first 11 years of their existence and was often the leading receiver for their Championship teams. A 3-time champion, 3-time Pro Bowler, and Hall of Famer, Lavelli was one of the first football stars (along with Graham and Motley) in Cleveland.

Honorable Mention

Todd Heap, Baltimore Ravens
