veteran Gopher TE with size, polish, and a proven red-zone feel
In his time at Minnesota, Ben Utecht stood out as a big-bodied, reliable tight end who quickly became a factor in the passing game; in 2002, he already had 10 catches for 164 yards and 4 touchdowns through two games, signaling real red-zone upside. He also brings a story that matters: a four-year starter who learned the position and turned into a pro, which points to toughness, coachability, and steady development. If you want a TE who can grow into a dependable chain-mover and scoring threat, he’s the kind of bet worth making.
