The Facts: For his career, Quarless, a six-year pro, has a total of 85 receptions for 909 yards and six touchdowns. The 26-year-old still has the confidence to put himself in the mix near the top of the tight ends list. "I consider myself the top echelon of tight ends," Quarless said.

Diehards Line: As NFL.com's Kevin Patra put it, "Good for Quarless. An NFL player better have the confidence to believe he can be the best player on the field every moment of a game. Otherwise, he won't last there very long. ..." That said, Quarless' career numbers are essentially what Chicago TE Martellus Bennett compiled in 2014. In 11 starts for the Packers last year, Quarless had 29 receptions for 323 yards and three touchdowns. Obviously the Packers didn't view Quarless as option No. 1 last year. He started only after rookie Richard Rodgers appeared overwhelmed by the offense. So, the Packers will head into the 2015 season with Rodgers and Quarless atop their depth chart, hoping the younger player with more upside outplays the veteran.
