Re: UDFA signings
The Athletic: Brugler's "Beast" has Holker as the 12th-best tight end and with a sixth-round grade. Despite that grade, Brugler does not have Holker being selected in his seven-round mock.
ESPN: Reid has Holker as a sixth-round pick, going No. 220 overall (end of sixth round) to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. ESPN: Kiper lists Holker as the 10th-best tight end. NFL.com: Reuter has Holker going in the fifth round, No. 172 overall to the Philadelphia Eagles. Dallin Holker Athletic & Physical Measurables Mason Tipton ran a 4.33 40 yard dash at his pro day, which included a 1.46 10 yard split. He put up 12 bench reps, a 37″ vertical, 125″ broad jump, 7.05 cone drill, and 4.22 shuttle time. Official Measurements: Age: 23 Height: 5’9 7/8″ Weight: 179 Hand: 9 1/8″ Arm: 29 1/2″ Wingspan: 71″ (5’11”) 40 Yard Dash: 4.33 10 Yard Split: 1.46 Bench: 12 Vertical: 37″ Broad: 125″ Cone: 7.05 Shuttle: 4.22 Tipton Has the natural power to move defenders at the point of attack. He also has the agility and speed to get out in front and land blocks at the second level. He also shows a good understanding of angles when climbing to the second level. Hergel thrives on physicality, often out-grappling bigger defensive linemen and winning in the phone booth with tenacity and upper-body strength. Kyle Hergel |

Re: UDFA signings
Hayball
Strengths Finished fourth in the FBS with 47.6 yards per punt in 2023. Adequate touch with low touchback percentage on coffin punts. Carves field coverage in half with his directional punting. Punt distance comes consistently from flight over roll. Weaknesses Relies on delayed punts instead of hang time to help coverage team. Needs to prove he can punt with much better hang time on the next level. Below average expediting operation quickness against pressure. Profile |

Re: UDFA signings
The first post has Holker as a TE. The second says he is 5'9" and 180 lbs. That ain't no TE.

Re: UDFA signings
I was kinda hoping Saints would bring in Drake Stoops. Great hands, gets open, perfect for slot.

Overview Pass-catching tight end who exploded on the scene at Colorado State after three years of pedestrian production at BYU. Holker lacks the size and grit for in-line blocking but can handle positional blocks in space. He has average play speed but might be able to crank it up a notch with better attention to it. Holker has the focus and ball skills to make the contested catch and should be capable of running most first- and second-level routes a team needs. Holker's production provides a window into his pass-catching ability, but he's a very limited blocker and appears to have a ceiling as a TE3/4. Strengths Natural athlete in space with good feel for making grabs in traffic. Long arms and big hands improve catch success outside his frame. Body control and focus allowed him to put some highlight-reel grabs on tape. Proved to be a reliable, high-volume target when aligned in the slot. Comes off the snap with good pad level as a run blocker. Weaknesses Will need to run routes with better focus on maintaining play speed. Will drift on zone routes, causing unnecessary contested catches. Fairly tough but not very dynamic after the catch. Decelerates into contact as a lead blocker. Lacks aggression and strain as a point-of-attack blocker. |
