Especially considering the fact Cook is on this ^List!!In light of our inability to recall any decent tight ends in our history, I thought I'd bump this post.
At this rate, Higbee might be top ten by next year.![]()

I remember when I thought it was all good when Randy McMichael sp? was signed. He seemed to be productive in Miami and he came to STL and was terrible. I feel like TE and MLB has eluded the Rams historically for whatever reason.
I liked Drayton a lot too. I think he gets lost in the shuffle because those teams were so bad.Holohan, Drayton and Conwell are are my favorites. Truax was before I remember watching games well enough to even know what a TE was LOL
I don't agree that Really good MLB's have "Eluded" the Rams, Here are our "TOP 10" in order of when they Played, Starting with Most recent:I remember when I thought it was all good when Randy McMichael sp? was signed.

This might be the worst position for good players in Rams history. Every other position we can have some truly great players. Not so much for TE.
What I discovered in researching this post was that we just have not had guys last, -because of free agency or injury, (Conwell, Drayton) or they just have a few years in our system (Holohan, Hill) or it was before the league used tight ends much, or just the Rams "ground Chuck" legacy, through several coaches -not just Knox, but Robinson, and of course, Fisher.It's true that TE has only recently evolved to be a featured position in the NFL (Kellen Winslow Sr. notwithstanding), but for the franchise leader to only have 180 grabs is kinda laughable. And I mean it in the nicest half joking way possible.
Other names right near Truax on the franchise receptions list include long time Rams Brandon Gibson and Danny Amendola.
Kendricks is 27 catches, 545 yards and a 2 TDs away from owning all the high water marks in franchise history for the position.
