Big-bodied tight end with red-zone value and pro-style upside
Jake Ballard is best known as a physically imposing, reliable tight end who can help a team in the run game and create matchup problems near the goal line. At Ohio State, he was valued for his size, blocking presence, and ability to function in a power offense rather than as a high-volume pass catcher. That profile makes him attractive if you want a TE who can do the dirty work, stay composed in traffic, and fit a more physical, pro-style system.
