Ahead of the 2023 NFL draft, the Chargers met virtually with former Old Dominion tight end Zack Kuntz, according to The Draft Network’s Justin Melo.
Kuntz, the 6-foot-7 and 255-pounder, played three years at Penn State before transferring, where he earned first-team All-Conference USA honors in 2021 in which he had 73 catches for 692 and five touchdowns.
This past season, Kuntz only had 12 catches, 144 receiving yards and two touchdowns after missing seven games due to an injury.
Despite his lack of college production, Kuntz is drawing plenty of buzz due to his immense athletic profile.
Kuntz had a standout combine highlighted by a 4.55 40-yard dash and a 40-inch vertical jump. He is the tallest player in combine history with a 40-inch vertical.
With offensive coordinator Kellen Moore’s system heavily predicated on 12 personnel (two tight ends, two wide receivers and one running back), Los Angeles will likely be looking to add one in this year’s draft.
Kuntz currently projects as an early Day 3 selection.
