For how boring and mad he looks on the sidelines. Belechick is actually fun to see smiling and praising legends. I hate him coaching but he on this show seems chill
He's always exuberant when he gets to talk about scheme or former players. I can't remember if it was earlier this year or last year but someone asked him a question about covering punts in a press conference and he spent 5 minutes answering when he normally says as little as possible in the press conferences.
hes always like that except when he has to answer dumb questions from the media Pat's fans know this but the rest of the country doesn't see that part of coach
Hey Dix Winger i know he's focused and is one of the smartest football guys ever im just saying he never smiles but when it comes to these kind of shows he looks like hes having a great time
One of the greatest football stats I have ever seen: Tony Gonzalez had 2 career fumbles! Not fumbles lost, we talking total fumbles. U N B E L I E V A B L E
What Antonio Gates accomplished after not playing a down in college is incredible. After one year of on-the-job training he became a Pro Bowl player. He was durable as he played into his late thirties. He caught more touchdowns than any other tight end. I agree with every tight end choice on this team, but leaving Gates out is just dumb.
i would argue that if sharpe isn't on here, gates should also be off, because who would one take off the list? Also I believe that their definition of the 100 greatest players isn't met on the list, when for the skill positions they quite visibly went for talent over the greatness of the player's career!
I'm in a minority, but I think John Mackey was the Best TE in NFL history. They threw much less Mackey played, as opposed to Gonzalez and Gronkowski. Mackey not only averaged around 15 yards per catch, but he was unblockable
The Patriots were blessed with TEs with both Russ Francis and Ben Coats pre-Gronk. Both of them dominated in their eras and could be on any list of top TEs.
Witten, Gates and Sharpe should obviously be here, especially Sharpe with how he revolutionized the game, Witten because he is always open and a great blocker, and Gates is a surehanded TD machine.
Damn this show, actually making me like Bill Belichick lol. Always respected him but this show would do wonders PR wise in showing what a cool guy he seems to be if this was widely viewed. Ive been loving all this NFL 100 content

Jerry Smith of the Redskins was one of the most underrated players in NFL history. When he retired he led all TEs in touchdowns, and was a big part of that offense.

CrushingRock really I mean, Mike Ditka was great, I love him, who the hell doesn’t love Ditka? The football guy to end all football guys, he’s great. But I’d for sure replace him with Sharpe
Newsome and Sharpe belong for sure. Also I'd argue that Ben Coates was that good. He led the league in receptions at a point when the Patriots were terrible and he was usually the only option to pass to. Was almost always double covered. I don't think he's better than Gronk, but if he played during the to Brady years he would've been scary
Very few tight ends could make an offense as unstoppable as gronk made the patriots. For a lot of his career, he was the best receiver on his team and sometimes the only real threat yet you still couldn’t stop him and Brady
For the people wondering about bill. Every interview and tv show he’s got a up beat personality. It’s only interviews or during a game he doesn’t want to show emotion because the other team can capitalize on that. You want to stay neutral. I grew up racing for 25yrs under sponsorship and you never wanted anybody to know if a certain track made you nervous. I mean I lost a lot of friends that were killed and had a serious 185g crash at 162mph into a wall and was as close to dead as you can get in 2000. So you never wanted to show your hand and always sandbag. These sporting events are 95% mental 5% physical.
Ozzie is the best TE of the 70's & 80's. a vacuum cleaner. Unless you saw him play you dont know how good he was. We know he's one of the best ever and so do plenty of other people. These lists leave much to be desired.
So many good ones over the years...Newsome, Sharpe, Graham, Bavaro, Francis, Jackie Smith, Jerry Smith, Coates, Novacek, Shuler, Casper, Gates...Kelce, after he retires.
They are right, John Mackey was a nightmare. I saw him play. When I started playing football. I tried to be like Mackey, Jackie Smith of the Cardinals.

Shannon Sharpe is the reason why TE get double coverage.....the disrespect is real on this list. That's like saying LT didn't change the game as a linebacker. Unc changed the game for TE's
Exactly. Of course the tacklers could avoid that 'free ride' if they remembered how to tackle. You know, hit at the waist, slide down, wrap up the legs.
It’s a robbery that Shannon Sharpe is NOT on this list. Unk was the first prototype tight end that ran like a receiver and who was split out wide on routes. He has the numbers statically, got three Super Bowls with two teams, broke a record in one game for yards with 214 receiving yards against the Chiefs. He was virtually unguardable one on one. Whoever voted for this category needs to go back and relook at this because if anyone who deserves to be on the list for greatest tight ends ever, Sharpe is that player.
Shannon sharpe retired with every tightens record… doesn’t matter if they got broke when he retired he was the GOAT and should be respected as such smh
yep right outta the gate with Tony Gonzalez, who showed his basketball level hops on the football field. Loved a football life with him too, and he aged so well too. 1:30 softmore slump damn lol funny how Cris Collinsworth said he had to change his notes. 3:20 muscle memory. I like bill's respect too.
I hear ya all. Sharpe, Witten, Casper, Gates all deserve to be up there. But unfortunately, there are only so many TEs that they can put up in the top 100 players of all time. I'm sure if it was 120 or 150, they would all be up there. Regardless, it's a tough choice and I can't really dispute including Mackey, Ditka, Gonzalez, and Gronk in the top 100.
Robert Jones so he a skill position can carry a whole team to the super bowl even the goat Tom Brady couldn’t you give him all 7th round rookies he’s not winning a game unless the play the browns
Robert Jones football is a team game no one can carry a whole team in the sb guess what he had a decent defense and the all worldly te gronk have you heard of him and also edleman if you think someone can carry a whole team without defense or an offense your just being ignorant
You seriously need to go back and watch film shannon is for sure on the mt Rushmore of tight ends. Gronk kelce tony g and Shannon sharpe are the four greatest tight ends of all time. Please tell me how Shannon isn’t? He held every receiving record for the tight end position when he retired and the man won a super bowl with two franchises and was apart of the best Broncos dynasty of all time and the ravens like you can’t tell the story of the nfl without Shannon sharpe.
@Tyler Edwards that's why I never responded to this moron. It's probably just a Raider troll. Anyone with common sense for the game knows Shannon Sharpe's name rings bells when it comes to tight ends!
@@alphonseblackwood2930yea nah you cant talk football you stupid say what you want to me i aint scared to take criticism but shannon is a bad mf tight end your an idiot period
I would have taken in order. 1. Kellen Winslow Sr. 2. Rob Gronkowski. 3. Tony Gonzalez. 4. Shannon Sharpe. 5. Antonio Gates. Ditka and Mackey were the pioneers of the position but the bottom line is that they have since been surpassed. I'd have Ozzie Newsome over them as well. As a Cowboys fan I love Novacek and Witten but they were never quite as elite as the 5 I picked or Ozzie.
Saying they've been surpassed doesn't mean I don't think they were good, only that 5 or 6 guys who came after them are better. I could see someone ranking them higher than I would but I really think Mackey over Gronk is a real stretch. Ditka and Mackey would still be pro bowl caliber players today I just think others at the most elite of the position have surpassed them. If we're talking about underrated tight ends, Jackie Smith did hold the tight end yards record for over a decade after his retirement so that makes sense. For other underrated tight ends. I would include Jerry Smith who was the first tight end to reach 60 touchdowns and held the tight end touchdown record for over a quarter of a century after his retirement. I'm also big believer in Charlie Sanders being underrated. He doesn't have the stats because he was a low volume tight end on bad teams but he had great hands and made some really athletic acrobatic catches. I would take Todd Christensen over Dave Casper but it's close. Casper was more athletic and made great adjustments to the ball in the air whereas Christensen was better at things like route running and getting open. Christensen's 1983 puts him over Casper by the hair of his chinny chinny chin. Gates and Witten are each other's own contemporaries with similar length careers so they are more comparable than some guys. While Witten has more yards and more 1000 yard seasons, Gates has the touchdown record and has 4 seasons of double digit touchdowns. I also think defensive coordinators would fear Gates more than Witten.
@@michaelsloane9955 Records are meant to be broken and tight ends have become more prominent in the last 30 years. Stacking this list with guys from recent eras does the older guys a disservice. Not to mention those older guys played with terribly inaccurate QBs, where it was common to retire with more INTs than TDs. Gates played with Rivers, a future HOF in my opinion, his entire career. Shannon had Elway for more than half of his career. Tony caught balls from a rotating cast of nobodys. I would argue Brady has needed Gronk more to cement his legacy. You list some good legendary old school guys, but Mackie and Ditka were above those guys in the before Winslow era.
BTW Shannon's best numbers came when he had Ed McCaffrey, Rod Smith, and Terrell Davis commanding loads of attention. Plus, Shannon wasn't much of a blocker like the other guys, which gets overlooked because there aren't stats for that. Still a HOF indeed, but I'm fine with him not on this list. Also, his brother Sterling should be in the HOF if Terrell Davis got in, just saying.
Sterling Sharpe absolutely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. I love James Lofton, but to me Sterling Sharpe is the best wide receiver in Packers history. Imagine if he had played long enough to play in Favre's prime?. Sterling Sharpe was the real deal and then some. I always thought Sterling Sharpe should have made the 1990s All Decades Team instead of Tim Brown.

He has the numbers statically, got three Super Bowls with two teams, broke a record in one game for yards with 214 receiving yards against the Chiefs. He was virtually unguardable one on one. Whoever voted for this category needs to go back and relook at this because if anyone who deserves to be on the list for greatest tight ends ever, Sharpe is that player.
Shannon sharpe retired with every tightens record… doesn’t matter if they got broke when he retired he was the GOAT and should be respected as such smh
No Dante Lavellli? That was a great tight end. Dominated two leagues.
yep right outta the gate with Tony Gonzalez, who showed his basketball level hops on the football field. Loved a football life with him too, and he aged so well too. 1:30 softmore slump damn lol funny how Cris Collinsworth said he had to change his notes. 3:20 muscle memory. I like bill's respect too.
Eventually we will see tight ends that blows these lists out of the water. Kelce, Kittle, Waller are making their way to the top quickly.
Yeah def.are seives
I hear ya all. Sharpe, Witten, Casper, Gates all deserve to be up there. But unfortunately, there are only so many TEs that they can put up in the top 100 players of all time. I'm sure if it was 120 or 150, they would all be up there. Regardless, it's a tough choice and I can't really dispute including Mackey, Ditka, Gonzalez, and Gronk in the top 100.
12:48 yall need to edit that asap! dude is back and have 4 super bowl and 6sb td
Mark Bavaro??
They did Uncle Shannon dirty.
Who else thinks belechick looks such a mad old man on the sidelines, but seems younger and happier even when it comes to a guy he had to double team?
Growing up in kc, tony was everybody's hero.
Sharpe got shafted
Two words: Mark Bavaro.
Gonzales: I've had my best stats, statistically speaking, when looking at my statistical stats, statistically speaking. Back to you Hoodie.
Gonzalez was the most overated TE IN HISTORY.DO YOUR JOB WIN. SB GAMES .GONZALEZ 0 SB VICTORYS
Robert Jones so he a skill position can carry a whole team to the super bowl even the goat Tom Brady couldn’t you give him all 7th round rookies he’s not winning a game unless the play the browns
@@Big-guy49 no BRADY JUST DOES. IT TO BUM TEAMS LIKE THE FALCONS IN THE SB
Robert Jones football is a team game no one can carry a whole team in the sb guess what he had a decent defense and the all worldly te gronk have you heard of him and also edleman if you think someone can carry a whole team without defense or an offense your just being ignorant
AG definitely a Hall of Famer good blocker and prolific catcher
Crazy analogy Cris
Yep I'm going 88 this year for football
SHANNON SHARPE??????
He wasn't that great 😂😂 there's more than enough reasons he didn't make the All Time Team. 😤
@@MannySanchez-f9x why?
You seriously need to go back and watch film shannon is for sure on the mt Rushmore of tight ends. Gronk kelce tony g and Shannon sharpe are the four greatest tight ends of all time. Please tell me how Shannon isn’t? He held every receiving record for the tight end position when he retired and the man won a super bowl with two franchises and was apart of the best Broncos dynasty of all time and the ravens like you can’t tell the story of the nfl without Shannon sharpe.
@Tyler Edwards that's why I never responded to this moron. It's probably just a Raider troll. Anyone with common sense for the game knows Shannon Sharpe's name rings bells when it comes to tight ends!
@@alphonseblackwood2930yea nah you cant talk football you stupid say what you want to me i aint scared to take criticism but shannon is a bad mf tight end your an idiot period
No Shannon Sharpe?
No J Novcek???? 🤔
Antonio gates undrafted 111 touchdowns
Basketball player turned football pit some respect on the man's name
Who watching this for Gronk?
Yes me
Gronk made New England a deflated Lombardi trophy oh how amazing
No Shannon sharp wild
I would have taken in order.
1. Kellen Winslow Sr.
2. Rob Gronkowski.
3. Tony Gonzalez.
4. Shannon Sharpe.
5. Antonio Gates.
Ditka and Mackey were the pioneers of the position but the bottom line is that they have since been surpassed. I'd have Ozzie Newsome over them as well.
As a Cowboys fan I love Novacek and Witten but they were never quite as elite as the 5 I picked or Ozzie.
I like this list, great choices, order is justifiable
Saying they've been surpassed doesn't mean I don't think they were good, only that 5 or 6 guys who came after them are better. I could see someone ranking them higher than I would but I really think Mackey over Gronk is a real stretch. Ditka and Mackey would still be pro bowl caliber players today I just think others at the most elite of the position have surpassed them.
If we're talking about underrated tight ends, Jackie Smith did hold the tight end yards record for over a decade after his retirement so that makes sense. For other underrated tight ends. I would include Jerry Smith who was the first tight end to reach 60 touchdowns and held the tight end touchdown record for over a quarter of a century after his retirement. I'm also big believer in Charlie Sanders being underrated. He doesn't have the stats because he was a low volume tight end on bad teams but he had great hands and made some really athletic acrobatic catches.
I would take Todd Christensen over Dave Casper but it's close. Casper was more athletic and made great adjustments to the ball in the air whereas Christensen was better at things like route running and getting open. Christensen's 1983 puts him over Casper by the hair of his chinny chinny chin.
Gates and Witten are each other's own contemporaries with similar length careers so they are more comparable than some guys. While Witten has more yards and more 1000 yard seasons, Gates has the touchdown record and has 4 seasons of double digit touchdowns. I also think defensive coordinators would fear Gates more than Witten.
@@michaelsloane9955 Records are meant to be broken and tight ends have become more prominent in the last 30 years. Stacking this list with guys from recent eras does the older guys a disservice. Not to mention those older guys played with terribly inaccurate QBs, where it was common to retire with more INTs than TDs.
Gates played with Rivers, a future HOF in my opinion, his entire career. Shannon had Elway for more than half of his career. Tony caught balls from a rotating cast of nobodys. I would argue Brady has needed Gronk more to cement his legacy.
You list some good legendary old school guys, but Mackie and Ditka were above those guys in the before Winslow era.
BTW Shannon's best numbers came when he had Ed McCaffrey, Rod Smith, and Terrell Davis commanding loads of attention. Plus, Shannon wasn't much of a blocker like the other guys, which gets overlooked because there aren't stats for that. Still a HOF indeed, but I'm fine with him not on this list. Also, his brother Sterling should be in the HOF if Terrell Davis got in, just saying.
Sterling Sharpe absolutely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. I love James Lofton, but to me Sterling Sharpe is the best wide receiver in Packers history. Imagine if he had played long enough to play in Favre's prime?. Sterling Sharpe was the real deal and then some. I always thought Sterling Sharpe should have made the 1990s All Decades Team instead of Tim Brown.
Hernandez 81 & Gronkowski 87 MVP 🙏
I think their confusing pioneers to the best of all time
Kellen and the Raiders TE reinvented the TE position!!!!
Christensonn????
"then you retired, thank God." HAHAHAHAHAHA
Keep laughing now
