Dolphins sign undrafted TE Jibri Blount

[67Stang]

He can jump over those mountains over there!

I feel like he had an older brother who took a shot at the league too. Possibly a LB? We may have even looked at him.

Man his dad was a bad ***.

Akil. We did have him in for a tryout (06 maybe?) but he didn't stick. I'm foreseeing a similar result here but am always intrigued by bloodlines like that.

Any possibility we’re building a TE Voltron in the likes of Pitts.

 

[REAL DEAL]

Jibri run down the field to the corner of the en zone and when the ball comes jump. :)

Worth a look. Ex basketball players at tight end has had success elsewhere.

Antonio Gates
Jimmy Graham

Makes you wonder if Pitts fell to them at 6 if he would’ve been definitely the pick.

Added to an already crowded TE group, but never seemed to actually play football before. He is a basketball player trying to make the transition to football. Long shot obviously, but interesting because of his size.

Wasn't Antonio Gates originally a B'Ball player?

kids 24... no football background. seems like a gimmick to me.

 

[DOLFAN_51]

Yeah. Obviously a gimmick. No NFL TE has ever come into the league without catching a single pass in college. Except for that one guy who had a workout with the Chargers and they didn’t let him leave without signing a contract. Stranger things have happened. Lol

230lb TE? Seems quite a bit on the light side

He’s pretty much the same exact build as Antonio Gates. He’s more of a Gates, Waller, Pitts TE than a Kelce.

Good pull. You just never know.

Hopefully dad used to take him outside and use him as a tackling dummy.

If that was the case, that kid wouldn't have lived to adolescence. Mel Blount would flat annihilate receivers back in the day.

 

[Dan13Forever]

Good blood line.
