10y split wasn't bad, and agility was good, but not a good 40 time and measured smaller than hoped. His size puts him right in line with Bowers for that hback guy but Bowers ran closer to 4.5 than 4.7

I thought Fannin looked smooth in the pass catching drill, which isn't surprising.

Still love him but like so many BG stars they're never as good athletically as we hope.

Just reality. If he WERE that athletic, he wouldn’t be here in the first place.

Still very excited about his pro prospects. He’s a special guy to come through here.

If he drops a bit into rd 4...maybe the Lions can grab him. I'm sure a smart QB like Goff could figure out a way to utilize him

He was 6th out of 14 tight ends at the 40 and tied for 3rd out of 14th for the 10 yard split pair that with a good pass catching session he'll stay solidly in day 2 of the draft

His hands were incredible in the gauntlet. He will still go high, his size and speed will matter but a good team will grab him and he'll just play slot TE

Something like a tenth of a second separated many of them. You are right - he will go pretty high on day 2

Ended up checking in with a 7.57 RAS. That's a pretty good score and his only negatives being size for his position of TE. We all know he's going to be an H-back/Slot TE so I don't think the size will matter much.

As mentioned, upper echelon 3-cone time.

His ball skills and hands, we all know are elite of the elite.

I still think he becomes the highest drafted falcon in memory. And he's still a future Cleveland Brown afaic

In my memory...the highest drafted Falcon was Charlie Williams. He went in the third rd to Dallas in the mid 90's. Fannin could def be in hat range...although he might be ore likely to go in the 4th or 5th.

I think he's going to have a nice NFLcareer regardless of where he's picked

Harold be a 3rd round pick simply because his skill set only fits with a certain number of teams. A guy like Sean Payton could really make use of him in Denver. Cincinnati could also use him with Erick All being done for the 2025 season.
