Ryan is the wild card in the tight end group. If he shows his excellent pass-catching abilities in camp, he could see significant TE3 looks or even become the receiving pairing with Fannin in 12 personnel groupings. Sixth-round draft pick with excellent versatility, unmatched work ethic, high character, 75.3 PFF run-blocking grade in 2025. Offers discipline, toughness, balance, persistence, adaptability, and can play in-line, off-line, run blocking, and receiving roles. Very competitive with high energy.NegativeRoleJul 24, 2026
Seventh-round rookie FB/TE hybrid from BYU; ranked 18th among TE prospects by Dane Brugler despite being a combine snub. Scouting report praises all-around game with no noted weaknesses: urgent, controlled route runner who feasts underneath against zone coverage with reliable hands and creativity after catch; quick and physical as a blocker with ability to reach, cut off, or get outside defenders. May be considered for fullback position given former running back experience, but with no proven TE depth chart candidate, has legitimate chance to ascend depth chart or be stashed on practice squad.
