Stanford's Reliable TE Hands Turned NFL Proven Target
Dalton Schultz, Stanford Cardinal tight end (2014-2017), stood out with elite hands and route-running polish, posting 77 receptions for 902 yards and 6 TDs in his senior 2017 season—key differentiators that made him a fourth-round pick by the Cowboys in 2018. His sure-handed reliability (minimal drops) and YAC ability shone in college, translating seamlessly to the NFL where he exploded with 82 catches for 777 yards (6th among TEs) and a 73.6 PFF grade (12th) in the 2025 season with the Texans. No major injury history; a smart, chain-moving TE perfect for balanced offenses needing a dependable red-zone threat.
