Kylen Granson brings NFL-tested versatility and pass-game juice to SMU’s tight end room
In the 2025 season, Granson showed he can still flash as a movable, mismatch tight end, catching 4 passes for 30 yards in his latest reported action with Philadelphia, and his broader pro resume includes 136 career receptions and 958 receiving yards. He’s at his best when used flexed, in motion, and in space — more athletic weapon than in-line sledgehammer — which is exactly why evaluators have long liked his hands, route feel, and matchup flexibility. The knock has always been play strength and blocking consistency, so he fits best for a staff that wants a TE who can stress coverage first and do the dirty work second.
