Virginia Tech TE Rob Stanton looks like a depth-chart wildcard, not a headline act
Rob Stanton is listed on Virginia Tech’s tight end depth in 2026, but publicly available stat tracking does not show meaningful recent production, so the best read is as a roster piece rather than a proven impact player. The key question for Stanton is upside: at tight end, value often comes from blocking reliability, versatility, and special-teams toughness more than box-score noise. If you need a dependable, physical TE who can earn snaps through effort and consistency, he’s the kind of player worth keeping an eye on; if you need instant receiving juice, he’s not yet that guy.
