Boston College Football: Top 3 prospects for 2021 NFL Draft
While the tight end position has been devalued a bit over the past few seasons, many NFL teams still have room for athletic tight ends that can stretch the field vertically and Hunter Long is one of the best and most underrated in the entire country.
Possessing excellent size at 6-foot-5 and 255 pounds, Long averaged over 18 yards per catch last season after having 508 yards on only 28 catches. That’s very impressive for a tight end and will be very appealing to teams at the next level.
Watch for Long as early day two pick in next year’s draft. The 2019 season was Long’s first year as the starting tight end for the Eagles and more will be expected from him in 2020.
