a reliable, blue-collar TE who made his mark as a gritty Steelers-to-Titans depth piece
Kevin Rader’s Youngstown State profile is built on toughness and versatility: in his college career, he produced 272 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns, then carved out an NFL path as an undrafted tight end by helping on offense and special teams. At 6-foot-4, 250 pounds, he brings the kind of dependable, physical presence coaches usually love in a TE2/TE3—more hammer than headline. The catch: his pro usage has been mostly low-volume and special-teams-heavy, so he fits best as a depth-and-dirty-work addition, not a featured receiving threat.
