DAILY DEBATE: Who is the best tight end in Miami history?

[mlw352]

I would say statically and accomplishments in college Kellen Winslow

NFL DAVID njuko and Elijah arroyo and Greg Olsen and Jimmy graham are physically our best athletes we put at tightend maybe shockey as well

 

[NCCanefan]

I remember the board DESPISED his commitment as well

Funny. Remind me not to irritate you because you have a great long term memory.

Funny. Remind me not to irritate you because you have a great long term memory.

Trust I remember a couple very prominent posters here claiming Teddy Bridgewater would have to play WR in college

Gotta be Shockey for me, but I think I'm influenced by the last minute td winner vs the noles.

 

[BigDikDaddyFromCincinnati]

Strong culture under Coker?

Winslow, Shockey, Olsen…

No love for a Jimmy G? That VT drop…

Not sure about culture, but Winslow certainly mastered the grip.

 

[Empirical Cane]

Bubba Franks.

Close thread or hands shall be thrown.

 

[Golsen82]

Golsen

Shockey

Winslow

Walford

That's a nearly impossible question to answer. We have had so many great ones. From Coleman Bell, to Willie Smith to Rob Chudzinski to Mondriel Fulcher to Bubba Franks to Jeremy Shockey to Kellen Winslow Jr to Kevin Everitt to Jimmy Graham to Clive Walford to David Njoku to Chris Herndon to Brevin Jordan to Will Mallory to Elijah Arroyo and there's more I missed. Trying to pick the greatest TE who played for TEU is a daunting task. Still I've got to go with Jeremy Shockey over Winslow, Graham, Njoku and Arroyo.

How do you name all other those and not mention Olsen?

 

[Bird4um]

Jimmy Grahm would have been if he started off here.

 

[canecrazy23]

Shockey, Franks, Olsen, Winslow,


Gordon would have been a beast but he was always so tired from returning kicks.

Julia Harum.






I joke, I kid...

Not really, though, everything I said is truthful...

 

[D7.]

Jeremy Shockey

 

[CF3]

Imagine Njoku on last year's offense...

 

[Hurricane23]

Shockey-He was gronk before gronk, most complete TE in Miami history imo.
Winslow Jr-best pure pass catcher
Big Bubba-pure warrior, similar to Shocky.
Olsen-smooth
Graham-Best athlete

 

[Luke Caneswalker]

Chase Smith’s dad.

 

[Stats02]

Shockey-He was gronk before gronk, most complete TE in Miami history imo.
Winslow Jr-best pure pass catcher
Big Bubba-pure warrior, similar to Shocky.
Olsen-smooth
Graham-Best athlete

Great list, but I feel Winslow was our best athlete and most physical. Not sure why everyone is sleeping on his blocking and physicality. He was an assassin on special teams his true freshman year. Not sure if any of our other TE’s played any special teams at all before they were starters.

 

[Fawk_U Haters]

Just about all of our good TEs pre 2000 beat any of our good TE post 2000 in college at the TE position. Shockey/kellen/Everett while being good TEs and more athletic weren’t as good in college at TE than the people Belford them.

I believe Coleman bell had a couple good years in the league but don’t really remember Miami TEs being good pro ball TEs until Bubba

 

[sdaly12]

Kellen Winslow II. Shockey would be a close 2nd. He did everything at an elite level.

Hands - A+
Speed - A
Route Running - A+
Football IQ - A+
Blocking - A+
Toughness- A+

I know he has done some horrible stuff and is a terrible human being. But, just in regard to performance on the field for TE, he was the best.

i wonder how or if he has CTE ? strange dude yes, but what caused other other felonies....

 

[sdaly12]

Greg Olsen missing from the lists, but I’d say Shockey.

maybe the best b"hands " of all Miami TE's

 

[CaneLife93]

I’m surprised you degenerates haven’t gone off the rails with this one
