Samford TE Michael Mitchler: Reliable depth piece with size and red-zone value
Michael Mitchler is a 6-foot-3, 225-pound Samford tight end whose value comes more from reliability and role fit than from big-box production: he appeared in 10 games in both 2022 and 2023, and his only recorded catch was a six-yard touchdown at East Tennessee State in 2022. Samford’s roster notes no stats in 2024, so he looks like a developmental, low-mistake option who can add depth, block in-line, and be useful near the goal line rather than a high-volume receiving threat.[8][4]
