Gardner-Webb’s Pork Chop Dugas brings old-school TE grit and reliable blocking presence
James “Pork Chop” Dugas profiles as a physical, team-first tight end whose edge is trench work: Gardner-Webb’s own historical notes call him a powerful blocker with good speed, a 4.7-second 40, and a high-efficiency high school blocker who graded at 91% with 65 knockdown blocks in 2008. He also had enough juice as a receiver to produce eight catches for 224 yards and two TDs in high school, so he’s not just an extra lineman in shoulder pads. If your team wants toughness, versatility, and a blue-collar tone-setter at TE, he’s the kind of fit that earns respect fast.
