Second-best blocker in class if at 250–255 lbs; upside Njoku comp
BYU tight end drafted 248th overall by Cleveland Browns in 2026. Bob Harris evaluates him as a potential dynasty league free-agent pickup with significant upside contingent on playing weight. If he maintains college weight of 250–255 lbs, Harris ranks him second only to Sam Rauch as a blocker in the class and notes he can catch, run routes, and generate skill after the catch. Harris projects him as a middle-class or potentially better version of David Njoku if deployed as a technician rather than a straight-line route runner. Harris notes pre-draft enthusiasm diminished after learning he weighed 235 pounds at a workout, suggesting weight loss from his college-listed 245 pounds may have contributed to his late-round slide and raises durability/strength concerns. Harris states: "I'm definitely keeping my eye on Ryan."
