Depth TE with Special-Teams Value and Limited Offense
McConnell is a redshirt senior tight end for Colorado State who has mostly contributed on special teams, with only 2 catches for 22 yards in the 2025 season and appearances in 2 games in 2024. He brings a sturdy 6-1, 235-pound frame and a background as a walk-on who earned his spot through spring tryouts, which points to toughness and buy-in. He is more of a developmental, depth-and-effort fit than a proven receiving threat, so he makes sense for teams valuing work rate, versatility, and special-teams reliability over box-score production.
