Longtime NFL Tight End Turned Coach, Not Stanford’s Current TE
Jim Dray is best known as a former NFL tight end and, as of 2026, the Chicago Bears’ tight ends coach—not a current Stanford Cardinal player.[1][3] His value is in experience, not box-score production: he spent years in pro systems and now works in development/teaching mode, which suggests a detail-oriented, technique-first football mind.[1][2] If you’re evaluating him for a roster fit, think of a veteran positional coach with credibility in tight end play, rather than an active athlete whose current performance can be measured on-field.[1][3]
