UNC's Record-Setting TE Now Fighting for Vikings Roster Spot
Bryson Nesbit, son of ex-NFL lineman Jamar, exploded in 2023 with 41 catches for 585 yards and 5 TDs, earning First-Team All-ACC and UNC's TE touchdown record (13 career).[2][4][6] A big-framed mismatch (huge catch radius, explosive plays), he battled a fractured wrist in 2024 (24 rec, 264 yds, 3 TDs in 7 games), yet signed Vikings reserve/future deal Jan 2026 after practice squad grind.[1][4][8] Resilient, red-zone beast with NFL bloodlines—prime upside for teams needing a versatile, battle-tested TE who thrives despite injuries.[3][9]
