### **Ravens Are Only Team With Two Top 10 Tight Ends in ESPN Rankings**
Mark Andrews has been regarded as one of the NFL's best tight ends for the past six years. Teammate and fellow tight end Isaiah Likely is an ascending player poised for a breakout season.
Both were ranked in the top 10 at their position in [ESPN’s survey of league executives, coaches, and scouts](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45530874/ranking-nfl-top-10-tight-ends-2025-execs-coaches-scouts-make-their-picks-best-game). With Andrews at No. 6 and Likely at No. 8, the Ravens were the only team to have two players in the rankings.
Andrews was ranked as high as No. 3 by voters.
"Andrews held up in the voting despite declines in yards and catches per game compared to previous years," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler wrote. "But he was highly efficient when Lamar Jackson looked his way. Andrews produced a 140.9 passer rating for his quarterback on 69 targets, with 55 catches for 673 yards, 11 touchdowns and 1 interception."
An NFL coordinator said of Andrews: "Elite instincts. A QB's best friend. Dominates the middle of the field. Understands zones and man-to-man better than anyone outside of \[Travis\] Kelce. Baltimore is a totally different team without him."
Likely's highest ranking was No. 5.
"Cracking the top eight as a TE2 is an impressive feat for Likely," Fowler wrote. "But his profile in Baltimore is growing. He averaged 8.2 yards per target, ranking high within this tight end pool. His 4.3 yards of separation per route also is among the best for his position.
"Likely had 13 red zone targets, the most for any NFL tight end who isn't the primary starter. He turned those targets into eight catches for 56 yards and five scores."
A veteran NFL coach said: "He's a matchup guy, very loose, can separate, big catch radius, pretty diverse route tree."
