Tight ends

Team Favre

Bubba Franks: In eight seasons, he totaled 262 receptions for 2,300 yards and 32 touchdowns. He was a three-time Pro Bowler. Gunslinger’s most productive tight end.

Mark Chmura: In eight seasons, he totaled 188 catches, 2,253 yards and 17 touchdowns. A three-time Pro Bowler, great blocker, and has a Super Bowl XXXI ring. Excelled when paired with the player below.

Keith Jackson: 53/647/11 in two seasons. Made five Pro Bowls, one as a Packer, in his illustrious career. Retired after hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in 1996.

Team Rodgers

Jermichael Finley: In six seasons, he caught 223 passes for 2,785 yards and 20 touchdowns. Placed on injured reserve during Super Bowl run. Shut it down young due to spinal injury.

Richard Rodgers: Besides snagging one awesome Hail Mary, the other Rodgers posted 120/1,166/13 in four seasons.

Jared Cook: In 2016, he caught 30 passes for 377 yards and a touchdown, and stepped up in the postseason. Better Green Bay stint than Martellus Bennett.

Advantage

Team Favre. Since Finley’s career ended, production at TE has been an annual struggle for #12. The elephant in the room in this comparison is free agent signing Jimmy Graham, a five-time Pro Bowler who has yet to catch a pass as a Packer. By the end of the 2018 season, Team Rodgers with Graham could gain the edge.
