Bode Burns is a developing red-zone threat with early-game experience and room to climb
In the 2025 season, Bode Burns appeared in three games for Western Carolina, caught his first career pass for 23 yards at Campbell, and then was sidelined by injury, so the current read is of a young tight end still building momentum[1][2]. At 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, he brings the frame of a modern TE, and his early usage suggests he can contribute as a reserve option while growing into a larger role[2]. He is a good fit for a team that values developmental upside, size, and special-teams readiness over immediate high-volume production[1].
