The Boilermakers tight end totaled 1,945 yards and 16 touchdowns in his four-year career, coming on strong in senior season. His athleticism is impressive, but it’s his struggles with catching that have hurt him. He drops roughly 10% of targets thrown his way. However, his route running and ability to beat down zone coverage could make him a solid fit for an offense with a young quarterback.
