Albert Okwuegbunam
TE, Missouri
Draft Projection: Rounds 3-4
NFL Comparison: Noah Fant
Okwuegbunam is a classic boom or bust prospect. He is an athletic freak, with incredible size (6' 5'' 258 lbs) and speed (4.49 40 time). Okwuegbunam has solid hands and great ball skills. He has shown the ability to make circus catches and is incredible in the red zone. If those traits can shine in the NFL and he can fix his flaws, he has the tools to be the best receiving tight end in the NFL. At the same time, he is very raw as a route runner and plays with practically no physicality as a run blocker, so unless he dramatically improves his blocker he won't be able to be a traditional Y tight end despite his speed. Overall, Okwuegbunam has many flaws and could very possibly end up doing nothing in the NFL because of them, but he has All-Pro upside.
