There is no better friend to a quarterback than a reliable tight end, and unfortunately for Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the organization did not exactly have the second coming of Rob Gronkowski in the 2025 NFL season.
Cade Otton looks the part and should, in theory, be a smooth athlete and a game breaking tight end. And maybe with a little more seasoning or a change in scenery, the 2026 upcoming free agent could break out and become one of the better pass catching tight ends in the league.
But aside from a brilliant performance in Week 18 against the Carolina Panthers with the season on the line - though, by the then, it was too late and the season had already been on the line for at least a month - there was nothing impressive about Otton's 2025 season.
