McBride's 18.6 PPG crushed elite TE seasons; first early-round league winner since Kelce.

McBride posted 18.6 PPG in 2025, exceeding Travis Kelce's 2018 (17.9 PPG), Jimmy Graham's 2011 (17.2 PPG), Rob Gronkowski's 2012 (17.0 PPG), and Gronkowski's 2014 (17.5 PPG) seasons. He became the first early-round TE league winner besides Kelce since 2017, providing a 4+ PPG advantage over the next-best TEs (Bowers and Kittle at 14.7 PPG). His surge accelerated after Kyler Murray's absence midseason.
