Tight Ends: A

The only tight end that got an extensive amount of work was Dennis Pitta. Many people, including myself, thought that Pitta should retire. When the season ended a lot of us felt like fools. Pitta proved many people wrong when he came back from consecutive hip injuries. The veteran tight end led the Ravens with receptions. With 86 passes hauled in for 729 yards and two touchdowns, Pitta provided Flacco with a go to guy.

Dennis Pitta got some help from Crockett Gillmore, Darren Waller and Nick Boyle. That being said the tight end that made a huge impact this season was Pitta. Pitta is a reliable target over the middle of the field. Flacco loves to lean on number 88.

If it were not for injury, Gillmore could have been a big part of the offense. Gillmore is one of those players that has unlimited potential moving forward. It will be interesting to see what happens at the tight end position moving forward.
