NFL

6'7 270, 4.5 40, 39" vert

George Fant, who’s currently the starting Right Tackle for the Texans and previously the Seahawks and Jets, is even more crazy.

George Fant went to college at Western Kentucky. He was listed as a TE. He played in two career college games and his cumulative official stats in college was 1 catch for 7 yards, and he also had two tackles lol

“… TE version of Trey Lance but he’s actually good.”

So not the TE version of Trey Lance. Or just not Trey Lance at all.

lol.

He was a lottery ticket. A guy who is 6'7, 250 pounds, that can move like that. Plus, he ran a 4.56. Defenses just didn't know how to handle him on that Saints' offense. You didn't see guys that massive lined up in the slot too often.

Big, fast, great hands

Off the charts athleticism and upside. I recall he was seen as drafted slightly on the early side, but after the second round teams will start turning to upside picks

The Vikings drafted Moritz Bohringer out of a German football league cuz he was 6’5” 240 and ran a 4.4. Crazy measurables will get people drafted

He had a decent mid range jumper?

He was a really good basketball player.

You know all those times when a guy gets drafted with elite measurables and questionable skill and people berate their GM when it's predictably a hard bust?

It's because every now and then, that guy turns out to be Jimmy Graham.

As a basketball player he knew he would miss 100% of the shots he didn't take

He had a lot of potential. Ended up on a team with a great quarterback. Just coulldn't block very well.

Bruh, all these responses and no mention of playing with the most accurate QB of all time…

He was an athletic monster, for sure, but Payton also had Brees to help make things work. Jimmy wouldn’t have been anything without Drew.

Freak of nature athlete, look at jordan mailata you can teach technique you can’t teach size and athleticism

More like TE version of Matt Cassel since Trey Lance actually had stats in college.

Same way Antonio Gates did

Matt Cassel never threw a Touchdown in college

Antonio Gates had 0 receptions in college

I think he was a basketball star. Correct if I'm wrong. Nfl used to love converting basketball stars into TEs.

Not just go pro, but was a 3rd round pick. He was picked ahead of guys like Everson Griffen, Geno Atkins, Kam Chancellor, etc...

Combine

502 rebounds.

He was highly scouted out of college as an extremely dynamic athlete due to his history of playing several successful years of college tennis.

He played Basketball 4 years and only had 42 less receptions than Kelce. It's all about development and work ethic to get better

Do you know how many football receptions TE Antonio Gates had at Kent State?

Look up Antonio Gates college stats.

He played basketball in college.

Height and speed

George Kittle only had 48 receptions

At least he played college ball. Marcus Pollard played in parts of 14 seasons, mostly with the Colts. He went to a college (Bradley) that doesn't even have a football program.

Traits player.

You’ve never seen I’m in person have you 🤣

Can't teach measurables and he has everything you want in a TE.

Gates had 0 receptions in college. freak athletes.

How do we know Trey Lance isn’t good? He hasn’t gotten much of a chance

When the Saints were practicing in Miami before Super Bowl 44 the staff called asked UM coaches which of their prospects was most pro ready and they all said Graham. Pretty cool story.

Pretty sure he still had more receptions than Jordan Mailata had snaps at tackle…considering he didn’t even play American football before the NFL. Some guys are just built for the game, and GMs thus take notice of them. Night Train Lane basically made the NFL using a scrapbook as his résumé.

Basketball

same way jordan mailata did

How the fuck did Antonio Gates go pro with 0 receptions?

How the fuck did Jordan Mailata go pro without ever having seen the sport?

The world may never know the answer to these questions...oh wait, scouting, scouting is obvious answer to the question

If Anthony Richardson had declared he was going to never play another snap of Quarterback in his life and was going to exclusively play Tight End, he would still get drafted.

Sometimes it’s just about a big guy who runs fast
