TJ Roelen brings big-play upside and matchup value at tight end for San Diego
Roelen has shown an explosive, vertical-threat profile for USD, highlighted by a 40-yard touchdown in 2023 and a rare 40.0 yards-per-catch mark on his lone reception in ESPN’s current stat line. He also brings legit physical tools—6'0", 215 pounds, 4.8 speed, 255-pound bench, 375 squat, and 450 deadlift—suggesting a developing tight end with strength to grow into a more complete role. The fit appeal is clear: he looks like a high-upside developmental piece with red-zone and seam-threat traits rather than a finished volume producer.[1][6][7]
