Tim Grear Jr. gives Akron a proven big-play target with upside
In the 2025 season, Tim Grear Jr. appeared in all 12 games for Akron and produced 14 catches for 178 yards and a touchdown, averaging 12.7 yards per catch; earlier in junior college, he showed a true splash-play profile with 43 catches for 764 yards and 7 touchdowns in 2022, including three 100-yard games.[1][5][6] He looks like a fit for teams wanting an experienced, vertical receiver who has already shown he can create chunk plays, though his current production suggests he is more of a complementary weapon than a volume alpha right now.[1][5][6][3]
