Big-bodied Auburn TE with mismatch upside, but a short college track record
Chris Laye entered Auburn as a 6-foot-5, 250-pound tight end with clear size-and-catch-radius traits and had been expected to earn an expanded role after showing flashes as a receiver in high school, including explosive downfield plays. Auburn’s roster and official bio show he played in only three games in 2015 and earned SEC Academic Honor Roll recognition, but the public record here is thin and dated, so the biggest takeaway is projection rather than proven production. If you want a developmental TE with natural ball skills and red-zone frame, he fit the mold; if you need an established, high-volume producer, he was not that player.[1][3][5][7]
