Eastern Washington’s former all-conference tight end who paired size with big-play value
In the 2002 season, Dan Curley earned first-team All-Big Sky honors and honorable mention All-America recognition at Eastern Washington, finishing his Eagles career with 58 catches for 721 yards and 7 touchdowns despite playing only 28 of 44 possible games because of injuries[6][9]. He brought NFL-caliber size at 6-foot-4, 254 pounds, plus solid pre-draft explosiveness — a 35.5-inch vertical and 17 bench reps at the 2003 combine — which helped him stand out as a tough, versatile TE with upside when healthy[1][10][14].
