There’s a lot of hope surrounding the Los Angeles Rams’ tight end group heading into the 2024 season. Matthew Stafford said recently that it’s as talented and as deep a group as he’s had since coming into the NFL, and he’s going into his 16th season as a pro.
Tyler Higbee may not start the season on the active roster as he recovers from a torn ACL and MCL suffered in January, but the Rams signed Colby Parkinson as a free agent and selected Davis Allen in the fifth round last year.
EA Sports’ ratings gurus aren’t as high on the Rams’ tight ends, though. Higbee is rated above an 80 overall in Madden 25, but Parkinson’s rating is shockingly low, coming in sub-70.
