He went out and signed the 6'3" 238-pound Chig Okonkwo to act as Blough's new JUMBO receiver... Chig is a 4.5-second 40-yard-dash guy who excels with the ball in his hands after the catch... he forced 13 missed tackles (4th best among tight ends in the NFL) while his 345 yards after the catch were ninth best last year in Tennessee

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Okonkwo signed as jumbo WR; 4.5-second 40, 345 YAC, 13 missed tackles forced last year.

Okonkwo was signed as a jumbo receiver in the new tight-end-heavy offensive scheme. The 6'3" 238-pound tight end profiles athletically similar to Trey Burks (oversized WR), running a 4.5-second 40-yard dash and ranking in the 96th percentile for tight end speed. He excels with the ball in his hands after the catch, forcing 13 missed tackles (4th best among tight ends) and accumulating 345 yards after catch (9th best among tight ends last year in Tennessee). He offers very little as a blocker, making him essentially a glorified wide receiver.
