Madden 21: Predicting the five best rated tight ends

2. Travis Kelce

Kelce is phenomenal, there’s no denying that. But the guy above him is still better, that’s why he takes the No. 2 spot. Not to mention, he gets more than enough help from the best quarterback in the game, Patrick Mahomes. But that doesn’t take anything away from his skills as he is one of the best tight ends in the game.

Yes, Mahomes can sling the ball to him like no other quarterback could, but what Kelce does after the catch is what separates him from other tight ends. Not only can he run over defenders, but he can sprint past them like a wide receiver or running back would. His speed is something more than rare at his spot and combined with his catching ability and route running, it will help propel him to a 98 Madden 21 rating this year.

Mahomes is set to have an even better season than he did last year and Kelce is sure to benefit from it, so he will be in a constant battle for the best tight end in the league discussion with Gronk and the man at the top of this list all year long.
