Serviceable as a blocker, but at his best streaking down the seam and making contested catches. True matchup nightmare who could be a team\u2019s top pass-catcher as a rookie.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Pat Freiermuth, Penn State, 6-5, 251:<\/strong> Big drop-off from Pitts, but still an every-down in-line or slot tight end. Former basketball player can box out defenders and sky for the tough catch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Hunter Long, Boston College, 6-5, 254:<\/strong> Showed a knack for moving the sticks because he knows how to find space underneath for a scrambling quarterback. Functional blocker, but not much of a second-level receiving threat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Brevin Jordan, Miami, 6-3, 247:<\/strong> Former top recruit endured an injury-plagued career as a three-year starter. Just starting to learn the intricacies of route-running, but a tempting amount of raw athleticism.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Tommy Tremble, Notre Dame, 6-3, 241:<\/strong> Best blocking tight end of the top five, as a result of playing in the shadow of Cole Kmet and future NFL tight end Michael Mayer. Play-action pass weapon who initiates contact.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>Tre\u2019 McKitty, Georgia, 6-4, 246:<\/strong> Underutilized as a pass-catcher at both Florida State and Georgia, but showed an ability to beat linebackers and run through tackles. Knee injury kept him out of Georgia\u2019s Pro Day.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong>Kenny Yeboah, Ole Miss, 6-4, 247:<\/strong> Converted from wide receiver at Temple, but really blossomed after a transfer, with 19.4 yards per reception. Struggles to block power rushes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><strong>Tony Poljan, Virginia, 6-7, 265:<\/strong> Split time between quarterback and tight end for two years at Central Michigan before settling in and transferring. Emerging red-zone threat after six-touchdown season.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li><strong>Jacob Harris, UCF, 6-5, 219:<\/strong> Late-bloomer who discovered football in 2014, but didn\u2019t catch a pass until 2019. Already 24 years old, so development needs to h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en quickly. Maintains his soccer athleticism as a long-strider.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li><strong>John Bates, Boise State, 6-6, 256:<\/strong> Just two career touchdowns despite ideal size to be a red-zone target, but will block edge rushers. More than 500 career special teams snaps is a roster bonus.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Late_Riser\"><\/span>Late Riser<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Hunter Long, Boston College:<\/strong> Ran an unofficial 4.63 in the 40-yard dash to open eyes. Played in pro-style offense under veteran NFL coaches Jeff Hafley and Frank Cignetti.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Falling_Fast\"><\/span>Falling Fast<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Pro Wells, TCU:<\/strong> Enticing athleticism, but kind of a one-trick pony as a red-zone threat. Academic concerns forced him to go to prep school and community college before TCU.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Small_School_Wonder\"><\/span>Small School Wonder<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Zach Davidson, Central Missouri:<\/strong> Standout three-year punter who came from nowhere in 2019 with 40 catches for 894 yards and 15 touchdowns. Raw route-runner. Raw blocker. Raw, raw, raw.\n            <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
