Just like they did with the wide receivers yesterday, PFF did a story today about the pros and cons of 2022 NFL Draft tight ends.

Here's what they had to say about Jeremy Ruckert.

PROS:​

  • Legitimate people-mover in the running game. Recorded nine big-time blocks in 2021.
  • Built like a block of granite. Rocked-up frame.
  • Bulldozer post-catch. He will bounce defensive backs off the turf.

CONS:​

  • An afterthought in the passing game. Saw three targets a game on average
  • No juice as a route-runner — he's really just a zone-beater type.
  • Needs to play with more control as a run-blocker. He gets his helmet ahead of his toes at times.
