Reliable red-zone tight end with proven Illinois State production
In the 2018 season, Tylor Petkovich was a dependable Illinois State tight end who played in all 11 games, started nine, and finished with 13 catches for 126 yards and four touchdowns. His calling card was obvious: a big-bodied target at 6-foot-6 who consistently turned limited volume into scoring chances, including touchdowns in multiple games. He fits teams that want a classic in-line TE with red-zone value, toughness, and experience. The buzz is less about flashy numbers and more about steady, situational impact—exactly the kind of “don’t blink” weapon coaches love.
