XML Season 8's Best: Tight Ends

Welcome to the first inaugural "XML's Best"! Here we will highlight who was the best at their respective positions, and award them accordingly. In this series, there will be 3 candidates up for the award at each position. Bringing the offensive position players to a close, we now shift our attention to the Tight Ends. Overworked and undervalued, the Tight End position has become a position of strength to many teams in the XML. There was definitely a solid group of pass catchers. However, only one of these 3 can be labeled as the best. Without further ado, here are the 3 candidates who are up for Best TE:

1. Aaron Hernandez - New England Patriots
- Receiving: 68 receptions, 1154 yards, 6 Touchdowns (17 yds/rec, 72.1 yds/game)

2. Jermaine Gresham - Cincinnati Bengals
- Receiving: 66 receptions, 1149 yards, 4 Touchdowns (17.4 yds/rec, 82.1 yds/game)

3. Jacob Tamme - Arizona Cardinals
- Receiving: 66 receptions, 1012 yards, 8 Touchdowns (15.3 yds/rec, 67.5 yds/game)
