Yahoo Sports NFL on Colson Yankoff
From the article
Colson Yankoff's athleticism got him into the NFL. His development as a pass-catching tight end could earn him a much larger role... 'one of, if not the fastest guy on the team, which is crazy for being as big as he is.' He's got good speed. We've split him out some to say, 'Can he use space?' So, it's in the passing game that we featured him more.
STACKED’s take
Yankoff's elite athleticism and pass-catching development could earn larger role.
Versatile tight end weapon who could force coaches' hand and steal a roster spot; athleticism got him into the NFL as 2024 UDFA, and his development as a pass-catching tight end could earn him a much larger role. Former Commanders tight end Zach Ertz declared Yankoff 'one of, if not the fastest guy on the team, which is crazy for being as big as he is.' More tight end-friendly offensive scheme featuring frequent two- and three-TE sets creates additional opportunities; Commanders have flexed Yankoff away from the formation, giving him chances to operate in space. Head coach Dan Quinn said: 'He's got good speed. We've split him out some to say, Can he use space? So, it's in the passing game that we featured him more.'
