Simon Mapa brings red-zone pop and depth to New Mexico’s tight end room
In the 2025 season, Simon Mapa posted 3 catches for 42 yards and 2 touchdowns for New Mexico, flashing real red-zone value on a small but efficient sample.[1][3][4] At 6-foot-4 and 255 pounds, he profiles as a sturdy TE who can help as an in-line blocker while still showing enough hands and timing to finish scoring chances.[3][9][12] The buzz around him is less about volume and more about role fit: he looks like a useful glue piece for a balanced offense, especially if your team wants a physical tight end who can do the dirty work and sneak out for big-play utility.[12][15]
