Patrick Leitten brings rare size and a blocking-first profile to Duke's tight end room
Leitten is a towering **6-8, 270-pound** graduate student who began his Duke career as an offensive tackle before transitioning to tight end, which gives him a very different body type and blocking ceiling than most players at the position.[2] He has game experience in multiple seasons, but his profile is still built more on size, versatility, and development than proven production, so he fits best with a team that values edge-setting, heavy personnel, and a lineman’s mentality at tight end.[2][1]
