A compact, versatile Alabama A&M tight end with room to grow
Elijah McCray is a 6-1, 225-pound Alabama A&M tight end who has flashed as a young, utility-style piece rather than a volume producer; in the 2024 season, he logged just 2 carries for 5 yards, signaling a role built on versatility and situational usage rather than box-score dominance. The appeal here is developmental upside: he has size, enough athletic value to be used creatively, and the kind of flexibility that can fit a spread or motion-heavy offense. If you need an immediate featured TE, he’s not that yet; if you want a patient, multi-use chess piece, he’s intriguing.
