Big frame, limited production, classic developmental TE profile
In the 2017 season, Memphis tight end Ross Burcham was a low-volume contributor with 2 catches for 24 yards, but his 6-foot-5 frame and 225-pound build gave him real projection as a red-zone and matchup piece.[1][2][4] He was originally recruited as a 2-star wide receiver prospect before moving to tight end, which hints at some receiving upside and versatility.[3][8] The case for caring here: size, length, and developmental upside; the caution flag: his on-field production was modest, so he projects more as a fit for patient, role-based usage than an instant-impact weapon.[1][2][11]
