Earlier, I posted the average length of touchdowns for wide receivers. Here's the same info for tight ends.
Lance Kendricks and Jared Cook are teammates now; the Rams signed Cook in the offseason. That gives the Rams two of the faster tight ends in the league.
Cook last year had 2 TDs outside 25 yards. Kendricks did the same. So of the 22 tight ends in the league with at least 4 TD catches, these were the only two only who averaged over 25 yards on their touchdowns.
