Ross Jatkola brings reliable tight-end production with some past durability baggage
In the 2025 season, Ross Jatkola posted 12 receptions for 166 yards and no touchdowns for Albany, showing steady TE value as a chain-mover rather than a volume weapon.[1][6] At 6-4 and 230 pounds, he has the frame and target radius to work the middle, and Albany’s own roster notes show he previously battled a broken leg and missed an entire season, so durability has been part of his story.[2] For a team, he looks like a useful, physical tight end who can block and catch, but he is more dependable complementary piece than headline-grabbing mismatch—solid, unspectacular, and very much in the “does the dirty work” bucket.[1][2]
