STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

McBride's 117-catch record shows elite potential but needs more Pro Bowls and 1,000-yard seasons.

Cardinals TE functions as large receiver rather than traditional tight end with strong trajectory; had 106 targets and 81 receptions for 825 yards in second season, then 147 targets for 1,146 yards and 169 targets for 1,239 yards the last two years. In 2025, broke single-season reception record for tight ends with 117 catches (beating previous mark of 116). To be considered elite, needs more than his two Pro Bowls and must gather more yardage each season; comparison point is Travis Kelce, who has six 1,000-yard seasons and 11 Pro Bowls.
