Colts draft TE Jelani Woods - Round 3, Pick 73

[Dam8610]

After watching his tape, I'm surprised he was ranked as low as he was. I don't want to say who my comp was yet, but watch film of him and see if you can guess, because it's pretty obvious.

More recent. Gates wasn't as physical. Size match is uncanny.

That's the one. Play style is nearly identical. Woods seeks out contact, whether he's run blocking or just made a reception. He's already a quality run blocker, and as a pass catcher, he's a matchup nightmare everywhere on the field but especially in the redzone where UVA would split him out wide and throw either a fade or a slant for an easy TD or DPI flag. The Illinois tape is the one where it's the most blatantly obvious. He ran over their entire secondary in that game.

Dam I've never wanted you to be more correct than this comp.

Watch the Illinois tape and try to stop yourself from thinking "That's Gronk". I couldn't.
