2025 TIGHT ENDS BEST ON MEDIUM ROUTES
The intermediate area over the middle is where a tight end can be a quarterback’s favourite target. The medium route grade scores seams, crossers and deep overs between ten and twenty yards: getting open against linebackers and safeties, finishing the catch, and holding on through the hit. Dallas Clark (Iowa) and Heath Miller (Virginia) made a living there.
Below, draft-eligible tight ends are ranked by medium route grade, with short and deep route grades, hands, blocking and overall rating alongside.
