2025 NFL Draft: Preseason TE Rankings

After another long offseason, the 2024 college football season will officially kick off this weekend with Week 0 action, giving us our first look at the next generation of potential NFL stars.

It's never too early to look ahead to next year's draft class, and with the modern tight end position becoming so valuable in the NFL, you can bet that league scouts and decision-makers will have a close eye on the top talent in that position group this year.
