Vin+ 3,121 Posted June 23, 2016 or a football player. You decide. Kyle Rudolph believes he's the best tight end in the NFL. "Route running and catching balls, to many, is all that matters," Rudolph reasoned. "But it’s also (about) being one of the best blockers, one of the best pass protectors." Rudolph went on to say he believes fantasy football hurts his reputation. "The world revolves around fantasy football ... But I know that when I come to work every Monday, and I (watch) the film, I may have only caught two balls, but if I did my job in the run game and pass protection, (Vikings coach Mike Zimmer) is going to be happy." Rudolph is correct that no one will ever mistake his passing game numbers for elite. He's incorrect that his game is amongst the league's most well rounded. Pro Football Focus graded him as the league's No. 35 tight end in 2016. We'd say that sounds about right. Happy offseason.

DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted June 24, 2016 I stand by what I was saying last year... Blocking for a tight end is really not all that valuable. Rudolph wasn't better then Ebron last year, and Ebron isn't even a top 10 TE right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted June 25, 2016 Rudolph is an idiot who is going to lose his job to MyCole Pruitt in a matter of months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
