At the NFL Combine Tight End Oronde Gadsden II from Syracuse ran the fastest in the Gauntlet Drill by a Tight End in the last two years per Next Gen Stats.  He reached top speed of 19.23 mph during the drill.  You may have heard the name Oronde Gadsden, and that’s because Gadsden’s dad played in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys.  But for Gadsden II he participated on-field drills and had a 34″ vertical.  His NFL Combine he ranked 7th overall for tight end participants.  He will have to run the 40 at his pro-day though.

Gadsden II reminds me as Marques Colston years ago.  His primary position will be tight end but can line up as a wide receiver.  He did show up 6’5″ and 243 pounds but has lanky body type.
