00:00all quarter century team here from ESPN tight ends.

00:18They got three of them in a practice squad.

00:22Okay.

00:22Tight ends.

00:23You're going to have,

00:24I think,

00:24I think we would all probably agree with the top three tight ends.

00:27Practice squad might be a disagreement.

00:29Kelsey.

00:30Yep.

00:30Tony.

00:31Yep.

00:32Witten.

00:33Nope.

00:34You're missing the first team guy.

00:35Witten is not even practice squad.

00:37Gronk.

00:38Gronk.

00:38You got it.

00:39Oh,

00:40yeah.

00:40I forgot about Gronk.

00:42Witten isn't even practice squad?

00:43Nope.

00:44Oh,

00:44come on.

00:45See,

00:45this is what's going to happen.

00:46It's a Hall of Famer who is not worthy of it.

00:49Let me tell you something.

00:50This is what's going to happen that when the Hall of Fame comes calling.

00:57I'm concerned about it.

00:58I'm very concerned about it.

01:00The practice squad tight end is Antonio Gates.

01:03Who,

01:04how many times did Antonio Gates have a thousand yards receiving?

01:06Two.

01:07Twice in his entire career.

01:09Jason Witten had four.

01:10Witten has over 200 more receptions in his career than Antonio Gates.

01:14The only thing Gates really has him on is touchdowns,

01:16but that's it.

01:17Yikes.

01:18So,

01:18Gates makes it over Witten.

01:19I'm very disappointed.

01:20Before we get to the offensive line,

01:22you got to tell me what's wrong with your analytics people.

01:24These are your people.

01:26I don't listen.

01:26I don't.

01:28What analytics say?

01:30Adrian Peterson isn't good.

01:31What analytics say?

01:32Jason Witten doesn't deserve it over Antonio Gates or Larry Fitzgerald.

01:35I honestly hadn't even realized Larry Fitzgerald wasn't on this list till you said it.

01:38And then I was like,

01:39okay,

01:39that's a big problem too.

01:40Yeah.

01:41Cause he was the second,

01:41literally the second person I named.

01:43Yeah.

01:44So I knew Calvin was going to be,

01:45Calvin was first team.

01:46I assume.

01:47Yeah.

01:48Yeah.

01:48So that,

01:49there's a lot of disrespect there to the receivers.

01:51By the way,

01:51who was the first team running back?

01:52It was priest.

01:53Yeah.

01:53Priest Holmes.

01:54And Brady was first team quarterback.

01:55And who was first team tight end?

01:58Gronk.

02:00Which is,

02:01is needed.

02:02Priest Holmes had 3,000 yard seasons from 2001 to 2003 and didn't do anything else.

02:07Yeah.

02:07Look,

02:08you know,

02:08the analytics is a,

02:10it's a,

02:10it's a data point,

02:11but if you're also rewarding longevity for Gates.

02:14Yes.

02:15I don't understand.

02:15I don't understand it either.
