Georgia Tech’s long-ago tight end with a big frame and a health question mark
Wayne Riles was a 6-foot-4, 250-pound tight end who transferred to Georgia Tech from Louisville and was described by the staff as having a chance to factor in, but needing to stay healthy; he sat out 2004 and became eligible in 2005. In Georgia Tech’s 2006 stat log, he appeared in 13 games but recorded just 1 catch for 14 yards, so the intrigue was less about box-score production and more about his size, versatility, and potential as a developmental fit. If you want a deep sleeper with pedigree and upside, he’s the kind of TE who makes coaches dream a little.
