Fordham's Record-Setting TE Turned NFL Longshot
Phazahn Odom, the 6'8", 251-pound Fordham Rams tight end, dominated as a senior in 2016 with 37 receptions for 492 yards and a school-record seven touchdowns while starting all 12 games, showcasing elite red-zone prowess and all-purpose versatility (402 yards in one game alone). His massive frame, reliable hands, and FCS Preseason All-America nod highlight differentiators like physical dominance and comeback grit after a missed 2012 season due to injury. Though waived by the Steelers in 2025 after limited college production, his size and scoring touch make him a intriguing developmental fit for teams needing a blocking TE with big-play upside.
