The tight ends will be a big part of the Green Bay Packers’ offense in 2010

23-year old Jermichael Finley is a player on the rise and he could have some Pro Bowls in his near future as early as this year.  Finley played in 13 games (0 starts) last season for the Packers and he caught 55 passes for 676 yards (12.3 avg) with 5 TD grabs.  He has now played in 27 games (11 starts) in his career with the Packers in which he has caught 61 passes for 750 yards (12.3 avg) with 6 TD grabs.  I really think that Finley is going to bust out big time this season for the Pack.

29-year old Donald Lee is also a solid TE.  He played in 16 games (10 starts) for the Packers last season in which he caught 37 passes for 260 yards (7.0 avg) with 1 TD grab.  Lee has now played in 109 games (58 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 187 passes for 1,802 yards (9.6 avg) with 16 TD grabs.  Look for Lee to start losing P.T. to Jermichael Finley this year.

27-year old Spencer Havner played his first year on offense for the Packers last season.  He played in all 16 games (1 start) for the Packers last season and he caught 7 passes for 112 yards (16.0 avg) with 4 TD grabs.  But a motorcycle accident in the off-season could really hurt his standing with the Packers due to the circumstances around it.

Rookie TE Andrew Quarless, a 5th rounder out of Penn State could push Havner off the roster.
