Harvard’s Adam Shepherd: a red-zone tight end with proven touchdown pop
In the 2021 season, Adam Shepherd flashed as a reliable Harvard tight end, recording 4 catches for 69 yards and 2 touchdowns, with scores against Holy Cross and Penn; that kind of red-zone efficiency is exactly what makes him intriguing. He also showed vertical-threat juice, averaging 17.3 yards per catch in 2021, which hints at more than just a check-down role. The upside is a TE who can stress linebackers and finish drives, though his published college production is limited enough that he profiles more as a situational weapon than a finished, every-down star.
