Utah TE Dallen Bentley: 7th-Round NFL Draft Pick Who Flourished as Team’s Offseason Standout
Dallen Bentley, a 6-4, 255-lb junior TE from Utah, emerged as the Utes’ biggest offseason standout in 2025, tallying 35 receptions for 431 yards and 4 TDs—tied for the team lead in receiving touchdowns [7][8]. His 12.2-yard-per-reception average and 514-yard, 5-TD 2024 season (42 rec on 68 targets) showcase his big-play ability and red-zone reliability [2]. Bentley’s intensity, work ethic, and ability to flourish with opportunity make him a high-upside, scheme-flexible fit for any team needing a physical, pass-catching tight end [7][8]. Selected 256th overall (7th round) by the Denver Broncos in the 2026 NFL Draft, he’s now a professional TE with proven college production and NFL readiness [4][5].
