Round 4: Florida Atlantic TE Harrison Bryant
There’s a lot to like about Bryant, but there are an equal amount of questions. He has the production in college with 48 games played, 148 career receptions, 2,137 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns. He used to play tackle in high school before his college coach moved him to tight end, so he’s not exactly afraid as a blocker.
The problem that stands out right now is that his athletic testing at the combine was very poor. He seems to make up for that on the football field by being a tough player, a good route runner and showing strong hands. I’m worried if that will be enough in the NFL when he’s playing against the best athletes football has to offer.
At the same time, you put on tape like Ohio State and Bryant handles a top prospect like Jeffrey Okudah with ease. It’s a bit deceiving, but I think there’s more to Bryant than meets the eye.
