2026 Rankings: Tight Ends Looking to Make a Statement

In this article, I will be diving into some of the tight ends in our 2026 rankings. Tight ends are one of my favorite positions, due to the versatility it brings. Running like a wide receiver or blocking like an offensive line, tight ends blend the best of both worlds together in harmony.    Marsh measures in at 6'2 180-pounds. He had 27 receptions for 454 yards and 8 touchdowns. Marsh has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, good speed, jumping, and solid change of direction. He is more of a receiving threat then a blocker. Marsh has a good release at the line of scrimmage. Has good separation quickness due to his athletic ability, play strength, and mental processing. He'll fight through contact during the route. He has very good mental processing, and finds open voids on the field. Marsh has good ball tracking skills and catching. He has a big catch radius.
