Top 10 TE's in 2025 Draft

This guy is a little undersized. and hasn't played against very many big name division schools over his college career. So that might make me think twice about drafting him. The NFL is a different animal from playing lower division opponents. Analysts have him graded in mid 1st round.

1- Harold Fannin Jr.- (TE) Bowling Green (6'4"/230#)
Fannin has sudden burst off the line with long speed to stack defenders vertically, consistently winning isolation routes against zone droppers. He is a YAC weapon who runs with a wiggle and burst, showing rare stop-start ability and lateral agility to make defenders miss in space. Fannin has vacuum hands with plus ball tracking skills, displaying consistent technique to pluck the ball out of the air away from his body in traffic. He has Swiss Army Knife potential for deployment with snaps from multiple alignments, showcasing scheme versatility.
Fannin has a size deficiency for the Y-position with concerning play strength, likely limiting inline blocking upside. He is underpowered when anchoring against power and gets walked back and loses leverage at the point of attack. Fannin's route tree is heavily manufactured through screens and schemed touches rather than NFL-style concepts. He struggles to combat press coverage with limited hand usage and functional strength at the line of scrimmage.
Fannin's receiving skills and athletic traits showcase an F-Tight End with mismatch potential in the passing game. His sudden acceleration, natural hands and rare YAC ability for the position will allow offensive coordinators to create favorable matchups through alignment variations. Fannin's lack of size and concerningly light frame point towards a move-piece role rather than traditional inline duties. Though his size limitations cap his ultimate ceiling, scheme fit will be crucial. Teams employing heavy 12 personnel looking for a traditional Y should look elsewhere.
