Whether in coverage or working downhill against the run, Branch tends to find the ball. The 6-0, 190-pounder is the kind of versatile slot defender that defensive coordinators covet. Branch won't wow anyone with his size, speed or strength, but there's no denying the value of his reliability and well-rounded game. NFL STATS CENTRAL: The latest NFL ...
Amid the proliferation of tight ends who more closely resemble wide receivers, Mayer stands out as a hulking target still capable of elevating an aerial attack despite his athletic limitations. The 6-5, 249-pounder compensates for his unremarkable speed by deftly setting up defenders with his route running and boxing them out mid-air for any jump b...
The link to his father, former Steelers great and assistant coach Joey Porter, will continue to follow him throughout his career. But the younger Porter made a name for himself by smothering receivers at the line of scrimmage and challenging them at the catch point on any pass thrown in his direction. Flags will follow him consistently unless he cl...
Whether facing zone or man coverage, Jones repeatedly finds a way to position himself for the ball thanks to his crafty footwork and pacing as a route runner. His 5-9, 171-pound frame will likely relegate him to the slot to limit his exposure against bigger cornerbacks who can push him around, but he can still be a high-volume target who can be pro...
With his 6-7 and 264-pound build, Washington long looked destined to be an anomaly as an NFL tight end. But when he ran a 4.64-second 40-yard dash at the combine, he established himself as a true outlier. He might not end up seeing extensive action as a receiver beyond work as a red-zone weapon, but his immense upside as a run blocker make him an i...
The body of work is limited, as the COVID-shortened 2020 season and a knee injury that ended last year's campaign after two games left him with career production (47 catches, 633 yards and two touchdowns) that fell short of what other top tight ends posted in just one year. Still, at 6-6 and 250 pounds with immediate speed off the line of scrimmage...
Jumping up to the Southeastern Conference proved to be no problem for the Torrence, the Louisiana transfer who was a consensus All-American in 2022. While the 6-5, 330-pounder's performance in space can be a little uneven, he exhibits the composure as a run blocker and pass protector to be a highly effective starter.
Another massive (6-3, 332 pounds) man in the middle, Avila previously started at center and saw spot duty at right guard and right tackle before settling in as a left guard last season. Though he's more functional than flashy in many elements of his play, Avila is one of the more dependable options in this draft class.
Much like his older brother Azeez Ojulari, an outside linebacker for the New York Giants, the 6-2, 248-pounder is an undersized but pliable pass rusher who can close in on the quarterback in a hurry. While his frame and length will be meaningful concerns for some teams, it's difficult to find players on the edge who combine Ojulari's level of athle...
It's all about instincts for Phillips, who tapped into his quick-developing recognition and rapid closing speed to nab six interceptions last year. Sometimes his proclivity for seeking out the ball can lead him into bad spots, and his pedestrian physical tools could be a problem against certain receivers. The solution seems to be placing him in the...
