Performance Analysis
F
#160 of 172 TEs
FCA+
Marcedes LeWis grades an F performance mark, with his Pro Bowl-caliber stretches anchoring the read. At 42 years old and in his 20th season as a longtime veteran, LeWis is squarely in the twilight of a Hall of Fame career that began with a first-round pedigree in 2006—but the 2025 season has exposed the brutal reality of age at the tight end position. Limited to just 5 games, LeWis lacks the durability and production metrics expected from a featured offensive weapon, signaling that his body can no longer sustain a heavy workload. The Broncos' recent personnel moves—including the signing of fellow tight end Dallen Bentley in early May—suggest the front office is actively building redundancy at the position, a tacit acknowledgment that LeWis can no longer be counted upon as a primary contributor. For a player of his stature and pedigree, this F-grade performance mark reflects not a sudden skill cliff, but the inevitable arithmetic of NFL longevity: elite talent cannot outrun Father Time.
How Marcedes Compares at the Position
Marcedes LeWis ranks 160th of 172 graded tight ends by performance. That slots Marcedes between Pharaoh Brown (F) just ahead and Jeremy Ruckert (F) just behind.
