veteran Dayton TE with reliable hands and steady program value
In the 2017 season, Dayton tight end Gus Madden appeared in all 11 games and started 2, finishing with 1 catch for 4 yards, while also earning academic honors; earlier Dayton notes show he had already flashed big-play ability with a 29-yard touchdown catch in 2014. He profiles as a dependable, assignment-sound tight end whose value goes beyond box-score production, with program longevity, size, and versatility standing out. If a team wants a seasoned, team-first tight end who can handle dirty work and won’t hurt you mentally, Madden fits the mold.
