Scouting Report/Player Notes
Gragg is an interesting tight end prospect who broke out as a receiver in 2011 with 41 receptions for 518 yards and two touchdowns, doubling his career touchdown total. In terms of his blocking, he uses his hands well and extends his arms with a good base, and does a solid job of sealing the edge for backs. However, he will really get noticed by scouts for his ability to catch the ball and make plays down the field. Gets off the line really quickly and does a good job of making plays after the catch. Big target who can play in-line as a tight end, out wide as a receiver, or in the backfield as a fullback. I like his upside at the next level, and he looks like a great athlete who could be a starting tight end in the NFL. Doesn’t have great overall size in terms of being a full-time tight end, but he can be an excellent and very dangerous H-back option for some team. He will be an interesting weapon at the next level.
