Part 4 of 9Position Breakdown: Tight EndsJoel Dreessen, 2013 base salary: $2.5 million: Signing Dreessen for three years and $8.5 million was one of the best investments the Broncos made in the off-season next to Peyton Manning. He was Denver’s most well rounded tight end and was rewarded with 300 more snaps on offense than Jacob Tamme. Mostly because of Dreessen’s demeanor blocking for the rushing attack. However, the former Colorado State Ram graded out in the middle of the pack in terms of effectiveness blocking for the ground game. He ranked 17th out of 35 starting tight ends for run blocking efficiency according to Pro Football Focus. However, Dreessen was the best pass blocking tight end in football this year as he was occasionally used to protect Peyton Manning when teams were bringing the blitz more.

After last year’s short and very unproductive season with the New York Giants, Brandon Stokley seemed to be headed for retirement. He only played two games and had a single reception for seven yards. Conversely, after reuniting with Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos, Stokley experienced a resurrection style season in 2012 putting up his best numbers since 2007, but those numbers...

The NFL would NEVER deprive themselves of an opportunity to make money. People watch the Pro Bowl for some unknowable...

This year's Pro Bowl will be the most influential all-star event in recent history. Virtually every pro series in the United States incorporates an all-star event into their schedule, but the NFL's is unique in that it comes at the end of the season. It's always been an afterthought, but if nothing changes this year, it's possible it'll be gone forever. The...
