ESPN blogger Pat Yasinskas is going through positions and gives his thoughts on where guys rank in the NFC South. Today, Yasinskas ranked the tight ends and the Bucs' Kellen Winslow almost tops the list coming in at No. 2.

Kellen Winslow, Buccaneers. Yes, you have to be concerned because the Bucs have been so cautious with Winslow's knee throughout the camp and preseason. But there were a lot of days last season when he didn't practice. The knee probably will remain an issue and Winslow might get days off from practice, but the important thing is that he's on the field on Sundays. He made it through all 16 games last season and produced 77 catches in a season where the Bucs were juggling quarterbacks. With Josh Freeman now firmly in the starting role, Winslow could be even more of a force.

PewterReport.com's Take: No surprise here as the man listed ahead of him, Atlanta's Tony Gonzalez, is often considered the best tight end in NFL history. While Winslow may be the most athletic tight end in the NFL, his injuries have always limited his production on the field. The Bucs acquired Winslow from the Browns last season and was the team's best playmaker in 2009. The team has been taking it easy on Winslow this offseason in hopes that he can repeat his numbers last season. With steady quarterback play from Josh Freeman and more weapons around him to take some of the pressure off, Winslow could have a better season than Gonzalez in 2010, but no matter what, Gonzalez will always be considered the best due to what he has accomplished in his career.
