big-bodied, proven-volume pass-catcher with all-conference production
Blackburn has been a productive, physical target, posting 52 catches for 747 yards and 3 touchdowns in 2016 after a 48-catch, 612-yard, 5-TD season in 2015, and he earned First-Team All-OVC recognition in 2016 and Second-Team honors in 2015.[2] At 6-3 and 256 pounds, his size gives him a clear mismatch profile and a “move-the-chains” feel, with multiple 100-yard games showing he can handle featured usage when the offense leans on him.[2] If you want an experienced, high-floor tight end/receiver who brings production and toughness, he fits.
