Big-bodied, high-upside Vanderbilt TE with proven production
Jared Pinkney was one of Vanderbilt’s most productive tight ends, with **114 catches, 1,560 receiving yards, and 14 touchdowns** in four seasons, and his size-speed profile (6-4, 257) made him a legit mismatch threat in the passing game.[2][7] He stands out for polished route-running, reliable hands, and red-zone value rather than pure blocking nastiness, and Vanderbilt noted his yardage was the program’s best by a tight end since 1984.[5] For a team, he profiles as a receiving-first TE who can stress linebackers and safeties more than he overwhelms them in-line.[2][5]
