Chigoziem OkonkwoTEWAS
Chig Okonkwo was signed as a 6'3", 238-pound 'JUMBO receiver' to operate in the new tight end-heavy scheme. He is a 4.5-second 40-yard-dash guy in the 96th percentile for tight end speed who excels with the ball in his hands after the catch. He forced 13 missed tackles (4th best among tight ends in the NFL) and had 345 yards after the catch (9th best among tight ends last year in Tennessee). He offers very little as a blocker and is essentially a glorified wide receiver.
