MORE 2025 NFL DRAFT RANKINGS

Traits That Make a TE Prospect Great

The tight end position is historically undervalued given how much they’re asked to do. Ideally, you’re looking for a prospect who helps as a blocker and receiver. Fluidity, hands, and blocking technique are among some of the most important factors to consider when scouting the top tight end prospects.

Some of the factors we consider when scouting are included below.

Fluidity

Fluidity is currently the most popular thing to look for in an elite tight end prospect. When you look at guys like Travis Kelce and George Kittle, they don’t have blazing speed or great underneath quickness. They’re just smooth movers with good core flexibility. You know it when you see it, and it isn’t coachable.

Hands/Catch Radius

Receiving is generally a more popular trait than blocking for tight ends in the draft, and you need to be able to catch the ball with a wide radius. They’re often the biggest target on the field, and require soft hands and the ability to be a red zone threat.

Blocking Aggression

Ideally a tight end enters the league with the blocking ability of an offensive tackle, but that doesn’t happen. Instead what scouts usually look for is an aggression with their blocking. Willingness to block is stage 1, the strength to maintain blocks is stage 2, and if they have those traits, they can usually be taught better form to hold up.

Route Running / Separation

Fluidity may aid in separation against linebackers, but route running is a fine tuned skill. You need to be able to get yourself open if you’re going to be valued as a receiver. If you don’t have enough quickness to consistently get open, learn to get separation with your strength. It doesn’t matter how you get open so long as you’re getting open.

Overall Opinion of the 2025 TE Class

There’s a lot that still needs to be answered about the 2025 tight end class, but it’s looking pretty strong at all levels. There’s no Brock Bowers level prospect, but there are a couple players with a chance to sneak into the first round and many more with a chance to go in the top 100.
