New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry was not included in ESPN's top 10 NFL tight ends list for 2026, determined by league executives, coaches, and scouts. Henry had a strong performance in 2025, registering 768 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, which contributed to the Patriots reaching the Super Bowl. His reliability as the team’s second-leading receiver raises questions about his omission from the list. Looking ahead, Henry will be part of a crowded Patriots offense, potentially affecting his statistical performance in the upcoming season, though another impactful season may lead to a top-10 recognition.
