Tony Scheffler was a matchup nightmare for Western Michigan — big frame, reliable hands, NFL-ready production
In the 2005 season, Tony Scheffler caught 57 passes for 670 yards at Western Michigan, a rare tight-end line that signals real field-stretching juice and dependable middle-of-the-field toughness[8][14]. At 6-5 and 255 pounds, he brought the kind of size-and-athleticism combo that NFL teams love, and his Broncos career helped propel him to a second-round draft pick in 2006[6][13]. The real appeal: he wasn’t just a box-score TE; he was a vertical mismatch with proven production and pro-level upside[8][14].
