123. Pick Analysis. 4. TE. Missouri. Albert Okwuegbunam. player. Scouting Report

Albert Okwuegbunam is known to many around the SEC as ‘Albert O’ is one of the top tight ends in the NFL draft. He was named All-SEC second-team twice in his three-year college career that saw him make 98 catches for 1,187 yards and 23 touchdowns.

The 6-foot-5, 255-pound is an intimidating figure with perfect pro tight end body. Okwuegbunam would be a major boost for a Dallas Cowboys team looking to get back to the postseason in 2020.

Future Hall-of-Famer Jason Witten left for Las Vegas leaving Blake Jarwin as Dallas’ only experienced tight end. Okwuegbunam could be the No. 2 tight end on the depth chart and even compete for the starting spot.

Projection: Fourth round, No. 123 overall (Cowboys)
