2021 NFL Draft: Gorman’s TE rankings as Kyle Pitts skies above

5. Kenny Yeboah – Ole Miss

There is a small drop-off between the number four prospect and the rest of the tight ends of the 2021 NFL Draft. The next guy up is Mississippi’s big-play man, Kenny Yeboah. The senior TE racked up six touchdowns and over 19 yards per catch in 2020, showing off his knack for the big play. In an offense devoid of playmakers outside of receiver Elijah Moore, Yeboah stepped up big this past season.

Due to his mini-breakout campaign in 2020, and his apparent athleticism for the position, Yeboah is starting to rise up 2021 NFL Draft boards. Once an afterthought in this process, Yeboah is on the cusp of a second day-selection. He will have to improve his focus as a blocker, but Yeboah has starting potential in the NFL in the right offensive scheme.

6. Tommy Tremble – Notre Dame

This ranking is purely based on talent and ability more than production at the college level for Notre Dame’s Tommy Tremble. The gifted junior was held without a score in 2020 after splashing down four times in 2019 for the Fighting Irish. Despite only two seasons of measly college production, Tremble announced that he would enter the 2021 NFL Draft.

Based on his athletic profile and size at 6-foot-4, Tremble projects as a chess piece-type player and versatile offensive weapon at the next level. He should hear his name early on day four and should see some early reps on special teams and obvious passing downs next season for an NFL squad.
