FILE - San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle carries the ball against the Seattle Seahawks during the first half of an NFL football game Dec. 5, 2021, in Seattle. No position in the NFL has undergone more changes to the style of player over the years than tight end. Long gone are the days of the blocking specialists who serve mainly as an extra offensive lineman. While guys like Rob Gronkowski, Travis Kelce and Kittle are excellent run-blockers, they are also outstanding receivers and major weapons on offense. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson, File)

FILE - Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady (12) is interviewed on the field after the NFL Super Bowl 55 football game against the Kansas City Chiefs, in Tampa, Fla., Sunday, Feb. 7, 2021. Thanks to Tom Brady’s return, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers aren’t looking for any quick fixes in the NFL draft. The seven-time Super Bowl champion’s decision to end his brief retirement not only resolved the team’s quarterback situation, but also helped general manager Jason Licht retain most of a solid core of talent around Brady.
