New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been overlooked in ESPN's Top 10 Tight Ends List for the upcoming 2026 season. Despite registering 60 receptions for 768 yards and 7 touchdowns in 2025, placing him seventh in receiving yards for tight ends, he did not make the list. Henry's performance came in his second year under coach Josh McDaniels and with rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Speculation arises that this may be Henry's final season with the Patriots, as he enters the last year of his contract. His role remains crucial as a reliable target for Maye moving forward.
