Guy is gonna be fun to watch in the pros. Doesn’t run the complete route tree like Jackson out of college and no one has that misleading running fast then just gone like Jackson. Bad comp.

Tough to tell sometimes with college TEs, I mean George kittle wasn't a super productive college TE, had barely 300 yards as a senior. Mark bavaro, Keith Jackson , algae crumpler bunch of other guys pretty modest college production compared to their NFL production. So who knows,the athletic ability and his size is intriguing he didn't do much until kind of breaking out his senior year. I've seen him in mocks as high as end of 1st round all the way to 4th round🤷♂️ So who knows but if he's around in the 3rd to 4th rd I'd definitely take him.

They look like freaks, and usually turn out just average. Vernon Davis was a real freak and he was just average. He is propped up a bit based on compiling statistics due to good longevity. Guys who are just solid athletes like Ertz, Goedert, Celek, Greg Olsen, Travis Kelce they might have run 4.5- mid 4.6. Celek probably did worse without looking it up. I think its more based on size and physicality with good enough speed. Celek ran a 4.75. Yup size and physicality with just enough speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good reason to take TEs in the middle rounds, productivity in the NFL depends on how they're used, Lewis, Celek were zone busters here, but not primary threats. In that role, hands and smarts are more important than athleticism. When your TE is more of a focal point, then they need to be top athletes since they're basically big WRs. Guys like Ertz could be shut down by top CBs but not most safeties or LBs. Goedert is more like Witten, not a great athlete, but a combination of size, hands, routes and top flight blocking, so you couldn't focus on him as a receiver (i.e. unlike many so-called TEs). Stoll is an average athlete, but he's become such a good run blocker as the TE2 that he only needs passable receiving skills b/c he's the type who'll be ignored by defenses. What we could have used was Jackson, but he'll have to wait a year. An athletic H-back who might need polish but could wreck havoc matched up against LBs or box safeties.
