Interesting notes from this:
- Former Oregon TE Colt Lyerla showed up. That’s good. If he has used his time away from the game to get his head on straight, he’ll be a steal for someone.
- Former Florida jack-of-all-trades Trey Burton checked into the Combine as a TE. He’ll be fun to watch work out.
- C.J. Fiedorowicz (Iowa) has been listed at 6’7″ his entire career. Clearly that wasn’t true.
- Notre Dame’s Troy Niklas is humongous at 6’6″ 270 and is quickly becoming a serious top 3 or 4 TE consideration.
- Eric Ebron had better than advertised size at 6’4″ 250. He’s generally the 1st TE projected off the board.
- Crockett Gilmore has extremely impressive size and his stock is definitely pointing upward.
