Big-bodied TE with blocker-first value and room to grow as a receiver
Puccinelli is a 6'6", 260-pound tight end whose appeal starts with size, blocking, and functional catch-and-run utility rather than headline-grabbing volume. In 2025 at Purdue, he logged 3 catches for 24 yards, while his background and roster notes consistently describe him as a run-blocking TE who helped power a strong high-school rushing attack; he was also rated the No. 26 tight end recruit by ESPN. He looks like a fit for a team that values inline blocking, toughness, and developmental upside in a complementary TE role, not an instant featured pass-catcher.
