AJ Barner shows promise as a standout tight end for Seahawks

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner has gained recognition for his performances, particularly in high-pressure situations during the previous season. Despite being ranked 26th out of 30 tight ends by ESPN’s fantasy community, analysis suggests he could be among the top 10 in real-life play due to his strong blocking and reliable route-running. As Barner looks to build on his accomplishments from Michigan and his role in winning a Super Bowl, he is expected to significantly contribute next season, especially if defensive focus shifts to other Seahawks playmakers like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Rashid Shaheed.
