The 'NFL tight end receiving leaders' quiz

While the majority of the praise in New England is rightly focused on young quarterback Drake Maye, veterans have played an important role in his second-year leap and getting the Patriots back to the AFC Championship Game.

32-year-old wide receiver Stefon Diggs returned from an ACL tear in the middle of the 2024-25 season to lead the Pats in both catches (85) and yards (1,013), while 31-year-old tight end Hunter Henry led the team with seven TD catches. While Henry was quiet in the 28-16 win over Houston in the Divisional Round, he caught three passes for 64 yards and his first career playoff touchdown in their 16-3 win over the Chargers in the Wild Card. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Along with leading the Patriots in touchdown catches, Henry had his most productive season with 768 yards in 2025. With that being said, can you name the NFL tight ends with at least 5,000 receiving yards in their career?

Good luck!
