Method

  • Every tight end who played with the Dolphins since 1966, ranked by receiving yards over his games there. Regular-season games only.
  • The numbers here start in 1966, so a tight end who played with the Dolphins before then isn't here.
  • A decade counts his receiving yards with the Dolphins in its seasons.
