Prospect Watch..

"This is quite literally one of the best workouts we've ever seen from an NFL Player at the Combine"

"Zack Kuntz the athlete, should really only exist inside of Madden"

"This is the highest upside TE prospect that has ever walked the earth just in terms of athletic potential."

[Ricky Spanish]

So he apparently was originally at Penn State but chose to transfer because he was stuck down the depth chart behind future NFL Guys like Pat Friermuth and wasn't getting the chance he thought he deserved.

Transferred to Old Dominion and became the focal point of their offense after week 4. Went on to have over 700 receiving yards his junior year.

Comes in his senior year ready to pop off but gets injured for the year. Big bummer. Based on the combine performance, he is completely healed. Could be a potential diamond in the rough TE Prospect. He's the kind of TE you take in the 3rd round and he blows up a few years later as one of the best in the league and people start questioning "Why'd he fall in the draft?"

I'm down.

Just seems like a guy with his measurables should've been dominating against Old Dominion competition.

He really only had one good game against decent competition when he caught 6 passes for 83 yards against UVA. He caught 1 pass for 3 yards against Liberty. 2 for 12 against VT. 0 catches against ECU. 3 for 19 against Wake. 

His best games were both in '21. 9 catches for 102 yards and a TD against Florida International and 9 catches for 119 yards against Western Kentucky. But... FIU had the 126th (out of 130) ranked defense in the country. WKU wasn't much better at #92.

I don’t really know where to ask this…what’s the highest win total for a team with the number one pick? We had 7. Was just thinking that as far as number one pick teams go, we’re actually not a typical terrible team. Got me curious.

Yeah, we've talked about this quite a bit. For a #1 overall pick, we're actually a really good situation. Very experienced, offensive minded coaching staff. Good OL. Good vet RB. Solid vet receiving TE. Good vet slot receiver. Yeah, the WR corps is the weak link of the offense on paper but still... compared to the situation a #1 overall pick typically walks into this is a damn good one.

Probably Andrew Luck going 11-5. Kyler went 8-8. The Rams traded up to #1 for Goff and went 4-12, but the next year they fired the HC, got Mcvay and went like 11-5

As an ODU alum... yes

Reminds me of the Jelani pick by Frank’s Colts last year in terms of insane athleticism. Think Kunitz is the most athletic TE in RAS history right ahead of Woods. Could see it in the 4 tbh. His profile is going to push him up and generally with TEs RAS score is a pretty good correlation with success.

I don’t mean how well will the rookie QB do. I mean who had the highest number of wins the year before and the number one pick in the next draft…and how many wins did that team have?
