Early in his time at Penn State, Mike Gesicki’s role at tight end was in jeopardy because he was having a bad time with drops. That wasn’t promising for his future at the school or his chances of one day turning pro.
But Gesicki didn’t let that derail him. He dove deep into the problem with his mind bent on burying it. He spent hours doing tennis ball drills, caught around 300 balls each day at practice and reached a point where he was confident his hands would never be a liability again.

Will be a very, very good pro. Would love him.

Great receiver, horrible blocker

If I could have any TE in this class it'd be Hayden Hurst.

Mike can’t block and Hayden is old. In short all of the TEs in this draft have warts. Should have got one last year.

Still I’d rather have one that runs great routes and can’t block. Been saying for a long time Hurst is best but Gesicki will do and a round later.

Not a fan of Troy and think Ryan and Will are the sleepers. Maybe Adam makes the best sense but small school thing to consider.

Hayden Hurst will be 25 at the start of the 2018 NFL season.

Ryan Tannehill was 24 at the start of his rookie year.

A one-year difference automatically makes a player old?

 

[Russ57]

Yes and most draft prospects are at least 3 years younger than Hurst.

Want to bring this back. Great foresight. Athletic as hell and can be taught to block better. Not an inline TE so who cares. Will run past some LBs and it jump everybody.
