Jackson Hawes also got an honorable mention at TE

That's actually quite the accomplishment for him with both Loveland and Fannin producing well this year

Who beat him? He’s been awesome!

 

He's been awesome. But without looking at the list, i'd assume it's Tyler Warren. 

 

As good as Hawes has been as a Blocker, that blocking proficiency combined with a less than 1 catch a game average (16 catches on the year) and 116 yards total output on the season is never going to eclipse someone who has 76 catches for 817 yards on the year for national accolades.

We have a lot of good players on this defense. I think that’s why I get so frustrated with them. The players are there. And so is the depth. Stop scheming them out of position and stop rotating guys out constantly. We have some horses there. Let’s go play fast and physical

I mentioned Loveland and Fannin, but somehow forgot Warren😂. In any event this looks to have been a very strong TE class.

I look forward to seeing what Walker can do next season with a year of experience and off-season strength and conditioning work.  Given where Hawes was drafted, Beane got incredible value out of the guy.  The same with Walker.

I’d love to see Walker and Mathis on the field together. Let’s see the interior lineman try to block two very large physical DTs. If anything they can certainly occupy the blockers to allow for the guy behind them to make plays

TE: Warren fell off a cliff around week 10 or so, but his full year numbers are still really good for a rookie.  Loveland came on big in the latter half and may have had the better year overall.  And Fannin was really solid start to finish.  Hawes getting HM behind those 3 is pretty good IMO.

 

CB: Such a bummer that Hairston's hurt again.  I've really liked what I've seen from him this year, and I think he would've easily been all-rookie if he'd never gotten hurt.

 

DT: Well-earned by Deone!  He's shown a knack for making plays, which is always a good sign.  I liked the stats of 8 TFLs and 6 additional run stuffs for no gain.

Congrats to Deone, well earned! 

 

I'll also say congrats to Beane and company for three solid picks in 2025; and there's still a chance that a couple more from this class can develop into good players.

Hawes should’ve made this list as well. He’s done so much more than make big catches. He’s a swiss army knife used allover the field in a variety of ways. 

 

Walker is going to be a future All Pro.

What about Harold Fannin Jr for the Browns? Didn't he break the record for most catches by a rookie TE?

The general public don’t care about blocking unfortunately regardless of how absolutely essential it is  😂
