Big-bodied former QB turned TE with upside, but limited current production
Faniel’s profile is still built more on projection than box-score production: Ole Miss lists him as a 6-6, 227-pound tight end, and his background as a quarterback gives him unusual movement skills for the position[3]. He was a consensus 3-star recruit and a high-school passer who completed 72 of 119 throws for 1,475 yards and 14 touchdowns as a senior, then switched to TE and was described by Ole Miss as still learning the physical and technical demands of the spot[3][12]. He looks like a fit for a team that values size, athletic upside, and developmental patience more than immediate receiving stats[3].
