This Sunday wasn’t just any other week of NFL football.
Week 8 of the NFL season was also National Tight Ends Day. The made up holiday has become something of a half-joking, half-legitimate tradition for the league. On one hand, it’s good to celebrate the tight ends that often go unheralded compared to their faster brethren in the receiving corps. On the other, National Tight Ends Day feels most useful as an avenue for DraftKings to promote parlays.
In 2025, nothing is sacred.
Nonetheless, we have a holiday to celebrate, and on Sunday several tight ends did their part in making a National Tight Ends Day to remember. At the time of this writing, Tucker Kraft is putting together a performance for the Packers that very well could have made the list, but I’m on deadline so he’ll have to wait until next year to get a full celebration in his honor. Sorry Tucker, them’s the breaks.
Let’s take a look at which tight ends were the tightest and endest on National Tight Ends Day 2025.
