Thomas Odukoya brings NFL-sized blocking value and international upside
Thomas Odukoya is a 6-foot-6, 253-pound tight end from Eastern Michigan whose calling card is physical blocking and roster flexibility, not box-score production; in his college career he never became a high-volume receiver, but he did earn third-team All-MAC honors and showed enough reliability to keep earning pro opportunities. In the 2021 season at Eastern Michigan, he posted 13 catches for 130 yards and 2 touchdowns, a useful snapshot of his limited but real receiving skill. The fit is clear if a team wants a strong in-line blocker, special-teams mentality, and a tough, developmental TE who can help shape the run game.
