The First All Pro Tight End: Correcting Mike Ditka’s Place in NFL History
Mike Ditka is often hailed as the NFL’s first tight end, but the title really belongs to his role as the first All‑Pro at the position. While the Bears drafted Willard Dewveall in 1958—who played a “tight end” in the old “end” terminology—Ditka’s 1960s performance convinced All‑Pro voters to create a dedicated tight‑end slot, cementing the position’s identity and earning him a Hall‑of‑Fame nod and a 1,000‑yard season. The piece traces the evolution from generic “end” to “tight end,” noting key milestones from the 1920s to the 1961 draft, and celebrates National Tight Ends Day founded by George Kittle and Jimmy Garoppolo.
TreVeyon Henderson still enjoys Patriots’ trust despite quiet season so far
TreVeyon Henderson shows promise but has been quiet in his sophomore season, playing just 13 of 54 snaps in the Patriots' 24-17 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Since returning in Week 2, Henderson has logged 57 touches for 248 yards and one TD, projecting roughly 700 yards and three scores this year versus 1,132 yards and 10 TDs in 2025. Vrabel believes Henderson will see more action down the stretch, possibly as early as Week 8 against the Dolphins.
