Blue-collar TE with NFL-ready blocking and sneaky receiving upside
Jackson Hawes is a physical, team-first tight end whose 2025 pro season with Buffalo showed why evaluators loved his dirt-work traits: 16 catches for 187 yards and 3 TDs in 17 games, with the kind of reliable hands and in-line blocking that can make him a coach’s best friend. At Georgia Tech, he brought the same rugged, do-anything profile after transferring from Yale, where he was a two-time Second-team All-Ivy selection and a steady red-zone target. If your team needs toughness, versatility, and a low-ego player who can help the run game while making the occasional impact catch, Hawes fits nicely.
