Penn State has put some players in the NFL at the tight end position during recent years. [autotag]Jesse James[/autotag] was the first notable Penn State tight end drafted. Then [autotag]Mike Gesicki[/autotag] and [autotag]Pat Freiermuth[/autotag] followed suit and both went in the second rounds of their draft year.
While [autotag]Brenton Strange[/autotag] doesn’t have the draft hype surrounding him like the other Penn State tight ends who entered the draft, he’s still a good prospect. He fits the mold of what the NFL is looking for at the position. He is a good blocker, catches the ball and can make plays with the ball in his hand.
Strange is definitely not a day one player, but there are rumors that he could sneak into the second day of the draft. If that happens, it increases the likelihood that Strange will make an NFL roster his rookie season. Even if he goes day three like many are projecting, he possesses a skill set that could make him stick in the league for a while.
Here is a look at Brenton Strange with updated measurables following the NFL combine and Penn State’s pro day.
