Tight Ends

Jimmy Graham: Graham hasn’t exactly provided the Packers’ offense with the boost that was expected when he signed in the offseason. He’s only managed 16 receptions for 169 yards and one touchdown so far this season. When you combine his awful run blocking and lack of difference-making plays in the field, it’s a much lower grade then hoped for.

Grade: C-

Lance Kendricks: Kendricks pops up second on this list because he’s been on the field far more than Marcedes Lewis, almost doubling him in plays (91-46). This is unfortunate because Kendricks has struggled in just about every category and shouldn’t be seeing the field nearly as much as he has been.

Grade: F

Marcedes Lewis: When Lewis was signed in the offseason, it was expected that he’d play a lot alongside Graham. The two had opposite skill sets and Green Bay could keep Lewis on the field to help block. Unfortunately, McCarthy has kept Lewis on the sidelines more often than not and Pro Football Focus has given Lewis a very low pass-blocking grade (28.1). That’s not the way he’s going to earn more PT.

Grade: C-
