Rich Hribar · Jul 8, 2024

Hribar's 2024 tight end tiers place Sam LaPorta as his overall TE1, followed by Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews and Trey McBride in Tier 1. He also notes McBride will remain a core piece of the Cardinals passing game but faces target competition from rookie Marvin Harrison Jr.

“I have LaPorta as TE1 overall based on where he is in terms of career arc paired with Detroit's favorable schedule of indoor games”
