Martin Maurer was a big-play, high-IQ Beaver tight end with reliable hands
In the 2000 season, Martin Maurer was Oregon State’s starting tight end and a featured passing-game weapon, finishing with 33 catches for 383 yards and an 11.6-yard average. He stood out for excellent hands, improved blocking, and big-play ability down the seam, and he was described as a rugged senior and a strong mentor-type presence for younger players. If a team wanted a TE who could win as a receiver, do the dirty work in-line, and bring mature, dependable leadership, Maurer was exactly that kind of fit.
