Colorado TE Zach Atkins: Reliable Chain-Mover with Room to Grow
Atkins is a sturdy 6'4", 240-pound tight end who gave Colorado a dependable target in 2025, finishing with 20 catches for 149 yards and flashing enough all-around utility to line up, block, and contribute as a former transfer who already earned a bigger role. His value is less about explosive production and more about trust: he can find soft spots, make tough catches, and stay involved in the offense even when the passing game is uneven. He fits best for a team that wants a physical, assignment-sound TE who can develop into a more complete weapon.
