Top 8 college football TEs to watch in 2017
ยป Top players to watch at each position
Editor's note: NFL.com analyst Lance Zierlein will reveal the top CFB players to watch in 2017 at each position over the next two weeks, continuing today with tight ends.
NFL scouts are always looking to the CFB ranks to find next-level talent. While we won't speculate about where these potential future NFL stars will go in the draft one day, it's not too soon to take a peek at their game tape and start to stack them as the top players to watch.
Of course, there is still plenty of work to be done in evaluating each player during and after this season. Of the TEs I've studied, here are the top 8 to watch.
